FROM HON. JUDGE kuSTis, CHIEF JUSTICE
OF The STATE OF LOUISIANA.

BRooKLISE, Der. IL, 1850.
GENTLEMES | 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 a great service
to the science OF law by the publication. The form
of thc English edition OF the translation was too
large and incOnvenient-and its scarcity and high
price prcvcntedits general use in this country. The
present publication, from Is form, its style Of
cutiun, and moderate price, Think, cannot fail in
rctnunerating you The translation by Mr. Stra-
han has been tested il is in the main correct, but
will be improved under the revision Of the editor,
Judge Cushing
In searching for Il solution Of the apparently new
questions arising out Of the various relations which
our advance in civilization is creating, and in judg
lug those reforms OF the law which in progress
in different parts OF the United States the value OF
the cirli'law will be appreciated aa IL comes to be
undcrstood, 1t cannot be otherwise with a system
OF written 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.
II would he 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
mItted TO occupy III England, few of the standard
works concerning ithave been translated into Eng
ish, and this want has not been supplied by the
original English treatIses on that subject. have
doubt that in Louisiana, III Texas, in Califor-
mia, and in the new Territories of the lifted States,
) we'll as in Lower Canada, there will be a ready
demand for your publication. The profession
throu ghout the Union will readily lend their favor
10 the undertaking.; and trust that your enter
prsing 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.
remain, gentlemen, very respectfully. your
obedient servant, GEORGE EUSTIS.

by VIM. Strahau, LID, Advocate in Doctors

ton, by Hon LUTHER ;. 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 >vo.
Among the writer's on the Roman Law whose
works nre best known 10 English and American
lawyers, and which have exerted the most tntu-
cnce upon orr jurisprudence, IS DoMAT, "whose
work entitled The (irii Lar in its Natural or
DER" says Judge story, preface to Bailments,)
''considcrng the age and the circumstances in
which u was written, Is truly wonderful per-
tornancc ~. method is excellent aud his mat
ter clear exact and comprehensive"
The objec, OF the author, in this learned produc-
hon, was 70 dsetnbarrass those OF the principles
and provisions OF the Roman law, which are of gen
eru interest and application, from the TECHNICAL
ties of the system, and, by presenting them in
natural and scientific method to render them more
intelligible and their attainment useful and
at~rCgabip. and. tnOuph the work DartlCnlariV
intended for and adapted TO the French jurispru-
dence Of the age, it is not less applicable to every
system OF law, Of which the Roman code is either
a part or in which 1t is recognised as a body of
written reason. Besides the general claims which
the work thus Possesses 70 the attention Of the Anne
rican lawyer, DomGt has peculiar interest in those
of the States, whose legal institutions derived
in part from those OF France Spain, AMI are thus
founded in the Roman law
These reasons have induced belief on the part
Of the publishers that modern edition OF this cele-
bratcd work would be acceptable to the profession
and have led them TO engage III republication of
the English translation ot it by DR.. Strahan.
