WESTERN MILITARY ms rITUTE,
Drennon Springs. Kentucky.

THIS Institution, on account of the rapidly in
i creasing demand for admittance, has been
compelled to change its location-the buildings at
Blue Lick Springs being insufficient for the accom-
mediation of the large number seeking entrance.
Within the last year two hundred and sixty cadets
have been matriculated. of whom near one hum
dred have left or been discharged mainly for want
of suitable Quarters" Drennon Springs has been
sccured the future and permanent location Of the
school To the great body of our patronage, COM
ing il does from the South and West, no point
could be more desirable Situated within one mile
of the Kentucky river, midway between Frankfort
and Louisville il is easy of access in all directions,
steamboats, passing both ways daily.
The buildings and improvements are very exten-
sive, affording ample room and accommodations
for three hundred cadets.
Its retired and healthful position eminently
adapts it for the purposes Of Military School. Be-
ing eight miles from any town, it is free alike from
the vices and extravagancies usually incident to
college life.
The second term OF the ANIMAL series opens on
Monday, the 10th Of February, and hereafter the
annual session will regularly open on the second
Monday Of September, and close the last Friday in
June. For further information address

PROPOSALS.

uniform sdition OF the Speeches, Forensic
Argnnsnts. and Diplomatic Papsrs ofDan-
Tel Webster.
TT is now twenty years since portion Of the
il speeches of Mr. Webster was given to the pub
lie in collected form. but without any considera-
bic editorial preparation or proper regard TO
rangement. Making an important part of the
political, juridical, and diplomatic history Of the
country, aa these works unquestionnbly do, il has
for sone 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 notes and illustrations, made necessary
by the lapse of time and changes in public affairs.
1t has been for some time known TO Mr. Web
stcr's 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 now happy to announce
that they have obtained his consent that such an
edition Of his works the public has long desired
| to possess should be given to it.
OF the nature and value of these works it is not
necessary for the publishers to speak; both we'll
known and appreciated. as well in Europe as in
the volumes in the following order. ohronologically
arranged:
/. Notice OF MIR. webster's Life and Works, by
| Edward Everett.
| 2. Speeches and Discussions in Congress.
| 3. Orations and Addresses on various public oc-
casions.
| 1. Legal Essays.
| 8. Diplomatic Papers.
| The work will be comprised in six volumes. of
about five hundred pages each, prin'ed in the best
manner. and bound in cloth. finely engraved

| payable on delivery.
Two hundred copies will be printed on large pa

publishers hope to deliver it complete early in the

BRooKLINE, Ocr. III, 1850.
QxxrLRMxN: 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 scicnce of law by the publication. The form
of the English edition OF the translation was too
large and inconvenient-and its scarcity and high
price prevented is general use in this country The
present publication, from its orm its style OF exc
cutiou and moderate price, Think, cannot fail in
remuncrating you. The TRANSLATION by Mr.. Stra-
nan has been tested; 1t is in the main correct. but
will be improved under the revision OF the editor,

questions arising out Of the various relations which

ing those reforms ofthe law which are in progress
In different parts of the United States the value Of

large portion of that of England and the United

Il would be quite useless for me to speak of the
merits Of the great work which your enterprise 10

isolated position which the civil law has been per-
mitted 70 occupy in England, few Of the standard

no doubt that in Louisiana, in Texas, in Califor

JUsTPUBLIsHED, DOMAT (M.) CIVIL Law
by VIM. Strahan, LID, Advocate in Doctors
Commons. Edited, from the second London Edi,
ton, by Hon. LUTHER 8. CUSHING, late one OF
the Judges in the Court Of Common Pleas; now Lee
turer on Civil and Parliamentary Law in Harvard
University. In vols. Royal oyo
Among the writers on the Roman Law whose
works are best known to English and American
lawyers, and which have exerted the most infiu-
encc upon cur jurisprudence, IL DoMAr, 'swhose
work. entitled The tsUii Laso in its Natural Or
du," says Judge Story, preface to Bailments,)
"considering the age and the circumstances in
which ii 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
cral interest and application, from the techncal-
tes Of the system, and, by presenting them in
natural aad scientific method, to render them more
intelgible, and their attainment more useful and
agreeable; and, though thc 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, 1f which the Roman code ia either
n part, or in which II is recognised as body Of
written reason. Besides the general claims which
>he work thus possesses to the attention o. the Ame-
r.can lawyer, Domat has peculiar interestin those
Of the States, whose legal institutions are derived
in part from those of France 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 republication OF
the English translation OF it by DR.. strahan
