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

Messrs. LITTLE & BaowE Gentemen-I am
much pleased 10 learn that you are engaged in
publishing revised edition of Strahan's transla-
lion Of DOMAT ON CIVIL LAW. No work in
the En- gsh language, the same subject, is to be
Compared with il, for the fuliness and CORRECTNESS;
OIL the doctrine conveyed throughout it.
Nrom the time of its publication, up to the pre-
cent, 1t has received the appreciation Of the most
learned men and lawyers in every country, and
very dcservedly. The compilers of the Code Ma
poleon drew copiousy from it for their work. Ma
poleon himself studied it most carefully IN early
life, which may account for the singular acueness
and wisdom of his observations and decisions, dur
ing the discussions on the adoption Of his code.
D0inat should, and hope will be, found in the IL
brdry Of every American lawyer.
Your obedlent servant, ALFRED HENNEN.
