Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Course of Legal Study, Vol. 2 of 2: Addressed to Students and the Profession Generally
The preface to this work deserves particular attention, as presenting a clearer idea or definition of the law Of nations than had before been given. [vide (note 1) on this title.] Vattel's chapter on 'things odious and favourable, ' a topic connected with the interpretation of laws and contracts, is so far from worthy of that ingenious author, as to have filled us with surprise, that so much contradiction, and even absurdity, should have fallen from his pen.
