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


BosToN, SEPT 6, 1850.
Messrs LITTLE Bnows: Gentlemen-l am
much pleased to learn that you are engaged IN
publisbing a revised edition of Strahan's transla-
ton Of DOMAT ON CIVIL LAW. NO work IN
the English language the same subject Is to be
Compared with il, for the fullnesa and correctness
OF the doctrine conveyed throughout 1t.
From the time of its publication, up to the pre-
learned men and lawyers in every country, and
very deservedly. The compilers oil the Code Ma
poleon drew copiousy from 1T Tor their work. Ma
poleon himself studied it most carefully In early
life which NAV account for the singular acutcness
and wisdom Of his observations and decisions. dur
ing the discussions the adoption OF mis- code
Domat should, and hope will be, found In the IL
brary Of every American lawyer.
Your obedien, servant, ALFhED hENNEN.

IL should omit doing justice to my own feelings,
s well as to the cause Of truth, if were not to Sc
lect the decisions in Galhson's and Mason's Re
