JUST PUBLISHED, DOMAT (M CIVIL LAW
INITS NATURAL ORDER, translatedinto English
by VIM. Strahan, LID, Advocate in Doctors
Commons. Edited from the second London Edi
tion, by Hon. LUTHER s. 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 Syo
Among the writers 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, ia DoMAr, "whose
work, entitled The CivI La.o IN its Natural Or
der" says Judge Story, preface to Baiments,)
s'considering the age and the circumstances in
which it written, is q 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, TO disembarrnss those Of the principles
and provisions of the Roman law, which are Of gem
eral interest and application, from the technica-
ties of the system, and, by presenting them in a
natural and scientific method TO render them more
inteligible, and their attainment more useful and
agreeable; and, though Che work was particularly
intended for and adapted to the French jurisprn-
dence Of the age, it is not less applicable to every
system of law, Of which the Roman code is either
part, or in which it is recognised body Of
written reason. Besides the general claims which
the work thus possesses to the attention Of the Anne
rscan lawyer, Domat has peculiar interest in those
of the States, whose legal institutions derived
in part from those Of France Spain, and thus
founded in the Roman law.
These reasons have induced belief 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 o.
the English translation Of it by DR.. Strahan.
