Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Sketches of Life and Character in Louisiana: The Portraits Selected Principally From the Bench and Bar
Mr. Hennen has, through a long life, set an example of total abstinence. To this cause we may greatly attribute his success in life, the accumulation of a handsome property, and the respectable position he holds in our city. Adyo cate as the writer is, of the cause of temperance, he cannot for-bear pointing to this gentleman, as a shining example of its practical effects. So noted has Mr. Hennen become in this respect, that he has received from Father Matthew the most honorable token ever conferred by the great Irish reformer, upon the distinguished advocates of this noble cause. We may further state, in this connexion, that Mr. Hennen appears to be a man of exemplary piety, and strict in his attendance upon the ordinances of our holy religion. I remember him some time since, as an examiner of young candidates for admission to the bar, and as quite a bug-bear to them, from his intimate acquaintance witlfthe institutes of Justinian. As a lawyer and a gentleman, he is an ornament to the city he has made his home, and deserves worthy and honorable mention in these Sketches.
