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

BRooKLINE, OcT. IL, 1850.
GENTLEMEN: have examined the sheets of the
translation vt the admirable work OF Domat on the
Civil Law, which you have been kind enough to
send me You will have rendered n great service
To the scjencc of law by the publication. The form
of the English edition of the translation was too
large and nconv enient-and its scarcity and nigh
price prevented it's general use in this country The
prest ut publication, from ts FORM its style of exc
cution and moderate price, think, cannot fail in
remunerating you. The translation by MIR. Stra-
han 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 of the various relations which
our advance civilization isJreatng, and IN ludg-
ing OF those reforms OF the law which III progress
in different parts of the United States the value OF
the civil law will be appreciated as 1t comes TO be
understood Ii cannot be otherwise with system
f 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 IA
large portion of that of England and the United
States
II would bc 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
lnitted TO occupy in England, few Of the standard
works concerning 1t have been translated into Eng
lsh and this want has not been supplied by the
original English treases on that subject. havt
no doubt that in louisiana, in Texas, in Califor-
MA and in the new Territories of the UL tied States
ne well as in Lower Canada, there will be a ready
demand for your publication The profession
throu ghout the Union will readily lend their favor
to 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
obe,hent servant GEORGE EUSTiS.

JUsTPUBLISHED, DOMAT (M.) CIVIL LAW
INITS NATURAL ORDER, translatedinto English
by WIN. Strahan, Ii D., Advocate IN Doctors
Commons Edited, from the second London Edi-
tion 10y Hon. LUTHER 5. 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 svo
Among the writers on the Roman Law whose
works are best known 10 English and American
lawyers, and which have exerted the most infu-
ence upon our jurisprudence, is DoMAT, "whose
work, entitled The CiviI Lao in its Natural Or
der" says Judge Story, preface 10 BailInents,) }
considering the age and the circumstances in
which 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 gen
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
intelligible and their attainment more useful and
agreeable; and. though the work was particularly
Intended and alaDtcd TO the French. Iurl5pru-
ecnce of the age it is less applicable to every
system of law Of which the Roman code is either
"A part, or in which il is recognised as a body OF
written reason Besides the general claims which
the work thus possesses to the attention OF the Anne
rican lawyer Domat has peculiar interest in 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 belief the part
Of the publishers that modern edition of this cee
brated worl, would be acceptable to the profession
and have led them to engage in republication o
the English translation OF II by DR.. Strahan'
