FROM HON JUDGE EUSTIS, CHIEF JUSTICE
OF THE STATE OF LOUISIANA.


GExTLEMES: have examined the sheets of the
translation OF the admirable work Of Domat on the
Civil Law, which you have been kind enough to
send me- You viii have rendered a great service
TO the science OF law by the publication. The form
OF the English edition Of the translation was too
larre end nconvenient-and its scarcity and high
price prevented its general use in this country The
present publication from ts form, lts style OF exc
cution, and moderate price, Think, cannot ial IN
renunerating you The translation by Mr. Stra-
han has been tested is in the main correct, but
win be improved under the revision OF the editor,
Judge Cushing.
In searching for a solution of the apparently new
questions arising out of the various relations which
our advance in civilizatio creating and In Judg
ing Of those reforms the law which in progress
in different parts of the United States, the value OF
the civil law will be appreciated a5 II comes to be
understood. 1t cannot be otherwise with system
of written which for centuries governed the
most wonderful social organization that the world
has ever witnessed and which is the real basis OF
the jurisprudence of continental Europe, and Of a
large portion Of that of England and the United
States.
II would be quite useless for me TO speak of the
merits of the great work which your enterprise is
about to give 10 the American public. From the
isolated position which the civil law has been per-
mitted TO occupy in England, iew.of the standard
works concerning II have been translated into Eng
Esh, and this want has not been supplied by the
original English treatises on that subject. have
no doubt that in Louisiana, in Texas, in Califor-
MA and in the Territories of the ULited States,
as well as in Lower Canada, there will be ready
demand Tor your publication. The profession
throughout the Union will readily lend their favor
to the undertaking; and trust that your enter
prising house will find its interest IN publishing,
from time to time, in the English language, such
other standard works as will form the basis oil a
civil law library

Among the writers on the Roman Law whose

considering the age and the circumstances in
which il was written, is truly wonderful per-
formance. His method is excellent, and his mat

The object of the author, in this learned produc-
tion was to disembarrass those of the principles
and provisions of the Roman law, which are of gen
eral interest and application from the TECHNICAL
ties of the system, and, by presenting them in a
natural and scientific method, TO render them more
intelligible, and their attainment more useful and
agreeable; and, though the work was particularly
intended for and adapted to the French jurispru-
dcnce of the age, it is not lees applicable to every
system of law, of which the Roman code is either
part, or in which it is recognised as body OF
written reason Besides the general claims which
the work thus possesses to the attention of the Ame
rcan lawyer Domat has peculiar INTEREST," in those
of the States, whose legal institutions are derived
in part from those of France Spain, and are thus
founded in the Roman law.
These reasons have induced belief on the part
of the publishers that modern edition OF this cele

was taken on the 30th of March last, have already
been published far as relates to England and

that this enormous task, which occupied four months

is 2O,9l9,4 32 being increase of little than
II per cent since the last return. AS regards the
population of Ireland: it then S,196,597 and
owing to famine and emigration it is probably not
increased. This, therefore, would make the entire
