Excerpt from A Manual of International Law: For the Use of Naval Officers My study of international law, begun at the United States Naval Academy and continued during mature years at the Naval War College, convinces me that to no service of the government is a knowledge of international law more val uahle than to that of the navy. I might also add that, so far as my experience goes, there is no naval service whose members are more familiar with the tenets of the laws of nations than our own.

Excerpt from Handbook of International Law T hus, after nearly three hundred years from the founda tions laid by Grotius, the father of International Law, in 1625, there rises a worthy structure and in a single decade the advance made in centuries is surpassed. Where earlier writ ers referred to philosophical or religious sanctions to fortify their expression of hope that justice might prevail among the nations, the writers of the present day refer to the sanction of international conventions embodying the realization of these hopes. Hubner, a century and a half ago, suggested an international prize court; in 1907 a convention for establish ing such a court was drawn up, and is a typical example of the modern realization of the hopes of the early writers.

Excerpt from Manual of International Law, Vol. 1 of 2: For the Use of Navies, Colonies and Consulates The theory of the Moral Law of Nature, as explanatory of the origin of Law, has been sketched, in its outlines at least, in Part I. The author's views on this subject are not brought forward here with a View to claim any origin ality whatever, but, being the result of miscellaneous reading, they are offered to the reader as an honest attemptto give, by means of the physiological laws of the human mind, a scientific explanation of the manifestations of the Mora!

Excerpt from The Principles of International Law The story I have to tell will be found in the text. I have not relegated important matter to notes, nor printed on my pages long quotations from other authors or excerpts from original authorities. I have preferred the much more labo rions task of extracting their substance and putting it in my own words into the body of the book, which I trust has gained thereby in both the decrease of bulk and increase of readableness. But I have taken care to provide the means of checking my assertions. At the bottom of nearly every page will be found references, by the use of which teachers and students can amplify or correct the statements in the text and men of aflairs obtain the more detailed information they may want for practical purposes. The notes are, I h0pe, sufficient. My object has been to make them adequate without over loading them with matter. I have not, for instance, referred to a large number of writers of all degrees of authority, when the citation of a few great ones gave the necessary support to my argument; nor have I quoted a dozen cases, when one or two were enough. I have also taken care that most of the cases given in the text should be something more than mere names to my readers. The material facts are almost always described, so that the points of law may be seen inviii preface. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
