uniform edition or the Speeches. Forensic
Arguments, and Diplomatic Papers fDan-
lei Webster.
Il speeches Of Mr.. Webster given to the pub.
lie in collected form. but without any considera-
Die editorial preparation or proper regard to ar
rangement Making an important part OF the
political, juridcal, and diplomatic history of the
country, as these works unquestionably do, il has
for some time been subject of complaint with the
public, that comrlete edition OF all the writings
OF MIR. Webster, which he should deem proper TO
form part OF such collection has not been brought
out, with no.es and illustrations, made necessary
by the lapse OF time and changes in public afnrs.
II has been for some time known to Mr.. Web
sters friends that, in the leisure from press
ing pursuits, he had written notcs to several ot
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
10 possess should be given TO it.
Ot the nature and value Of these works ii ia not
necessary for the publishers To speak, both we'll
known and appreciated, well in Europe as in
America. 1t Is proposed to print the contents Of
the volumes in the following order, chronologically
arranged:
|. Notice of MIR. Webster's Life and Works, by
Edward Everett
. Speeches and Discussions in Congress.
3. Orations and Addresses various public oc
casions.

about five hundred pages each, printed in the best
manner, and bound in cloth. finely engraved
head of Mr.. Webster will be given in the frat vol
ume, and his autograph will accompany every sub
scriber's copy. The price will be So volume
payable on delivery.
Two hundred copies will be printed on large pa.
paper, and having the autograph, at $3a volume
The work will be put TO press at once, and the
publishers hope to deliver it complete early in the
ensuing autumn.

JUsTPUBLIsHED. DOMAT (M.) CIVIL LAW
INITS NATURAL ORDER, transatedinto English
by VIM. Strahan, LID, Advocate in Doctors
Commons Edited, from the second London Edi
ton, by Hon. LUTHER s. CUSHING, late one of
the Judgesin the Court OF Common Pleas; now Lee,
turer on Civil and Parliamentary Law in Harvard
University. In vols. Royal Svo
Among the writer's on the Roman Law whose
works are best known to English and American
lawyers, and which have exerted the most infiu-
ence upon our jurisprudence, is DoAAr, ''whose
work, entitled fxe tipii Lao in its Natural Or
dr,' says Judge Story, preface to Bailments,)
considering tho age and the circumstances in
xhich it was written, is truly wonderful per-
iormance. His method is excellent, and his mat
ter clear, exact, and comprehensive"
The object Of the author, in this learned produc-
ton, was to dsembarrass those Of the principles
and provisions of the Roman law, which are of gem
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
Ineligible, and their attainment more useful and
agreeable; and, though che work was particularly
intended for and adapted to the French jurispru-
dence of the age il is not less applicable to every
system of law, Of which the Roman code is either
a part, or in which it is recognised as body of
written reason. Besides the general claims which
che work thus possesses to the attention Of the Anne
rcan lawyer Dornat has peculiar interest in those
of the States whose legal institutions are derived
in part from those of France or Spain, and are thus
founded in the Roman law.
These reasons have induced a 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 HON. JUDGE EUSTIS, CHEF JUSTICE
OF THE STATE OF LOUISIANA.

BRoOKLINE, OCT. III, 1851.
GEsTLEMEN: 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
Oh the English edition Of the translation was too
large and inconvenient-and its scarcity and high
price prevented its general in this country. The
present publication, from its form, its style of
cutiun and moderate price, Think, cannot fail in
remunerating you. The translation by MIR. Stra-
nan has been tested; II 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 advance in civilization ia creating, and in judg
ing of those reforms law which are in progress
IN different parts of the United States, the value OF
the civil law will be appreciated as 1t comes to 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 ia 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 me to speak Of the
merits 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-
mtted to occupy in England, few of the standard
works concerning it have been translated into Eng
Esh and this want has not been supplied by the
original Englieh treatises that subject. Ihave
no doubt that in Louisiana, in Texas, in Calfor-
MIA and in the Territories Of the UI tied States,
we'll in Lower Canada, there will be ready
demand for your publication. The profession
throughout the Union will readily lend their favor
10 the undertaking; and trust that your enter
prising house will find it's 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.
! remain, gentlemen, very respectfully, your
obedient servant, GEORGE EUSTIS.

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

BOSTON, SEPT. o, IooV. 81
Messrs. LITTLE & BHowN: Gentlemen-I am
much pleased to learn that you are engaged in
publishing revised edition Of Strahan's transla-
ton Of DONfAT ON CIVIL LAW. No work in
the English language, the same subject, is TO be
compared with il, for the fullness and correctness
OF the doctrine conveyed throughout it.
FROM the time Of its publication, up to the pre-
cent, 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
,ng the discussions the adoption Of his code.
Domat should, and hope will be, found in the IL
brary Of every American lawyer.
