tel Webster.
TT il now twenty years since portion of the
i speeches of Mr.. Webster was given to the pub
lie in collected FORM but without any considera-
BILE editorial preparation or proper regard to ar
rangemcnt. Making an important part Of the
political, juridica, and diplomatic history of the
country as these works unquestionably do, 1t has
for some time been subject OF complaint with the
public, that complete edition OF all the writings
Of Mr. Webster, which he should deem proper to
form part Of such collection, has not been brought
out, with notss and illustrations, made necessary
by the lapse of time and changes in public affairs
II has been for some time known to Mr. Web
sters friends that, in the leisure from more press
ing pursuits, he had written notes to several OF
these speeches, and that others had been prepared
by other hands, and we are now happy to announce
that they have obtained his consent that such an
edition Of his works as the public has long desired
TO possess should be given to it..
OF the nature and value of these works 1t 10 not
necessary for the publishers to speak; both are we'll
America. II Is proposed TO print the contents Of
the volumes in the following order, chronologcally
arranged:
Edward Everett.
2. Speeches and Discussions in Congress.
3. Orations and Addresses various public oc-
casions.
4. Legal Argumcnts-Essays.

about five hundred pages each, printed in the best
manner, and bound in cloth. finely engraved

scriber's copy. Tho price will be ~ volume,

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

BROOKLINE, OCT. III, 1901.
GENTLEMEN: 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 will have rendered great service
to the science of law by the publication. The form
oI the English edition of the translation was too
large and ihconvenient-and its scarcity and high
price prevented its general use in this country The
present publication, from it's form, its style of exc
cutiun, and moderate price, Think, cannot fail in
rsmunerating you. The translation by MIR. Stra-
han has been tested; it is in the main correct but
will be 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 advancein civilization is creating, and in judg
ing of those reforms the law which are in progress
in different parts Of the United States the value of
the civil law will be appreciated as 1t comes 10 be
understood 1t cannot be otherwise with System
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 quito useless for mo to speak Of the
merits of the great work which your enterprise 10
about to give to the American public. From the
isolated position which the civil law has been per-
mitted to occupy in England, few of the standard
works concerning it have been translated into Eng
fish, and this want has not been supplied by the
original English treatises that subject. have
no doubt that in Louisiana, in Texas, in Califor-
MIA and in the Territories Of the United States,
we'll ms in Lower Canada, there will be ready
demand for your publication. The profession
throughout the Union will readily lend their favor
prising house will find its interest in publishing,
from time to time, in the English language, such
other standard works will form the basis of a
civil law library.
l remain, gentlemen, very respectfully, your
obcdent servant, GEORGE EUSTIS.

JUSTPUBLISHED, DOMAT (N.) CIVIL LAW
INITS NATURAL ORDER, translatedinto English
by VIM. Strahan, LID, Advocate in Doctors
Commons. Edited, from the second London Ed
the Judges in the Court of Common Pleas; now Lee
turer on Civil and Parliamentary Law in Harvard
University. In vols. RoyalSy
Among the writers on the Roman Law whose
works are best known to English and American
lawyers, and which have exerted the most infiu-
ence upon Jurisprudence, is DomAr, "whose
work, entitled The CictI Lat0 tn tfs Natural Or
dr," says Judge Story, preface to Bailments,)
considering tie age and the circumstances in
which it was written, is truly wonderful per-
formance. His method is excellent, and his mat
ter clear, exact, and comprehensive.
The object of the author, in this learned produc-
ton, was to disembarrass those Of the principles
and provisions of the Roman law which are of gen
eral interest and application, from the tcchnicai-
ties of the system, and, by presenting them in a
natural and scientific method, to render them more
Ineligible, 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 less applicable to every
system of law, IF which the Roman code is either
a 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
r.can lawyer, Domat has peculiar interest in those
of the States whose legal Institutions arc derived
in part from those of France Spain and are thus
FUNDED in the Roman law.
These reasons have induced belief on the part
of the publishers that modern edition OF this cee.
brated work would be acceptable to the profession,
and have led them to engage in a republication Of
the English translation of it by DR.. Strahan.

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


Messrs. LITTLE BRowN: Gcntlemen-l am
much pleased to learn that you are engaged in
publishing revised edition of Strahan's transla-
ton of DOMAT ON CIVIL LAW. No work in
the English language, the same subject, ia to be
of the doctrine conveyed throughout it.
From the time of its publication, up to the pre-
,pnt, 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 it for their work. Ma
poleon himself studied it most carefully in early
life, which may account for the singular acutencss
and wisdom of his observations and decisions dur
ing the discussions the adoption of hs code.
Domat should, and hopo will be, found in the IL
brary of every American lawyer.
Your obedient servant, ALFRED HENNEN.
