Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Elements of International Law: With an Account of Its Origin, Sources and Historical Development
The favorable reception accorded to the first edition of this work, and the constant and extensive use which has. Been made of it by the class for which it was originally intended the undergraduate students of American colleges and law schools - have suggested the propriety of a general revision of the text, and the insertion of some of the more important cases to which the international experience of the last fifteen years has given rise. The volume remains, what it was in tended to be from the first, a text-book for the use of stu dents; it is in no sense a manual, still less does it profess to be an exhaustive treatise. More extensive reference has been made in the text to decided cases and to the work of text writers of approved and generally recognized authority; but the references at the end of each chapter have been retained, as a guide for general reading and for assistance in post graduate work.
