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

BROORLINE, OCT. IL, iSoU.
GENTLEMEN: I 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 great service
to the science of law by the publication. The form
of the English edition of the translation was too
large and inconvenient-and its scarcity and high
price prevented its general use in this country The
present publication, from its FORM its style of
cution, and moderate price, Think, cannot fail in
remunerating you. The translation by MIR. Stra-
han has oeen tested; it is in the main correct, but
will DO improved under the revision of the editor
Judge Cushing.
In searching for solution of the apparently new
questions arising out of the various relations which
our advance in civilization IL creating and in judg-
ing of those reforms of the law which in progress
IN different parts of the United States the value OF
the civil law will be appreciated it comes to be
understood. 1t cannot be otherwise with systcm
of written reasons 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.
1t would be quite useless for to speak of the
inertia of the great work which your enterprise is
about to give to the American public. From the
isolated position which the civil law has been per-
united to occupy in England few of the standard
works concerning it have been translated into Eng
iish, and this want has not been supplied by the
original English treatises that subject. Ihave
doubt that in Louisiana, in Texas, in Califor-
MIA and in the new Territories of the ULited States,
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 of a
civil law library.
i remain, gentlemen, very respectfully, your
obedient servant, GEORGE EUSTIS.

JUsTPUBLISHED, DOMAT IN. CIVIL LAW
INITS NATURAL ORDER, translatedinto English
by VIM Strahan, Ii d., Advocate in Doctors
Commons. Edited from the second London Edi-
ton, by Hon. LUTHER 8; CUSHING, late one Of
turer on Civil and Parliamentary Law IN harvard
University. In vols. Royal Svo.
Among the writers on the Roman Law whose
works arc best known 10 English and American
lawyers, and which have exerted the most infu-
ence upon our Jurisprudence, II DoMAr, "whose
work entitled The Civil LasD IN its Natural Or
der" Gays Judge Story, preface to Bailments.)
.ssconsidering the age and the circumstances in
which it was written, IL d truly Wonderful per-
Torrance. Hs method 10 excellent, and his mat
Ter clear, exact and COM eehcnsive."
The object OF the author, in this learned produc-
ton, was to Glsembarrass those Of the principles
and provisions of the Roman law, which are of gen
era interest and application, from the TECHNICAL
ties Of the system, and, BY presenting them in q
natural and scientific method, 70 render them more
Ineligible, and their attainment more useful ano
agreeable; and, though the work was particularly
intended for and adapted 70 the French jurispru
dcnce of the age, it is not less applicable to every
system of law, II which the Roman code is either
part, in which it 10 recognised a body o
written reason. Besides the general claims which
the work thus possesses to the attention Of the Anne
rcan lawyer, Domat has peculiar interest in those
of the States, whose legal institutions derived
in part from those of France or Spain, and thu
founded in the Roman law
These reasons have induced belief on the par
of the publishers that modern edition of this celc
brated work would be acceptable to the profession
and have led them to engage in q republication @
the English translation of it by DR.. Strahan.
