Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from International Law, Having Particular Reference to the Laws of War on Land: A Course of Twelve Lectures Delivered to the Staff Class of the Army Service Schools
In the study of international law, a division has sometimes been made between the natural law and the positive law; the former comprises the law as it ought to be, and the latter the law as it actually is, under present conditions; or I might say the former is the theoretical, altruistic law, and the latter the practical law under which the nations meet.
