FROM ALFRED HENNEN, ESQ, OF THE
NEW ORLEANS BAR.


Messrs LITTLE s. BRowN Gentlemen-I am
much pleased to learn that you engaged in
publishing revised edition of Strahans transa-
ton of DOMAT ON CIVIL LAW. No work in
the English language on the same subject, is to be
compared with it Tor the funess and correctness
OF the doctrine conveyed throughout it.
FROM the time of its publication, up to the pre-
sent, it has received the appreciation of the most
learned men and lawyers in every country, and
very deservedly. The compilers of the Code Ma
poleon drew copiously from 1t ior thelr WORK Na-
poleon himself stndied it most carefully in early
life which may account for the singular acutcness
and wisdom of his observations and decisions, dur
ing the discussions on the adoption OF his code
Domat should and hope VIII De, found IN tue IL
brary of every American lawyer -
Your obedient servant, ALFRED HENNEN.
