BosToS, SEPT. 6, 1850
Messrs. LITTLE & BRowS: Gentlemen-I am
much pleased to learn that you are engaged in
publishing revised edition of Strahans trensa-
ton of DOMAT ON CIVIL LAW No work in
the English language, on the subject is to be
compared with it, for the fullness and correctness
OF the doctrine conveyed throughout it,
From the time Of its publication up to the pre-.
sent, 1t has received the appreciation of the most
learned men and lawyers in every country, and
very deservedly. The compiers Of the Code Ma
poleon drew copiously from it for their work. Ma
poleon himself studied it most carefully in early
hte, which may account for the singular acuteness
and wisdom of his observations and decisions, dur
ing the discussions the adoption Of his code
Domat should, and hope will be, found in the IL
brary of every American lawyer
Your obedient servant, ALFRED HENNEN.
