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

BoeToS, SEPT. 6, 1850.
Messrs LITTLE & BRows Gentlemen-I am
much pleased to learn that you are engaged In
uublishipg a revised edition of Strahan's transla-
ton of DOMAT ON CIVIL LAW. No work in
the gsh language, on the same subject, Is to be
compared with it, for the fullness and correctness
of the doctrine conveyed throughout it.
Trom the time of its publication, up to the pre-
sent, it has received the appreciation OF the most
learned men and lawyers in every country, and
very deservedly. The compilers of the Code Ma
poleon drew copiously from it for their work. Ma
poleon himself studied it most carefully in early
fife which may account for the singular acuteness
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.
