Publisher's Synopsis
The Freedom of the Seas: Or The Right Which Belongs to the Dutch to Take Part in the East Indian Trade is a book written by Hugo Grotius in 1916. The book discusses the concept of freedom of the seas and the right of the Dutch to participate in the East Indian trade. Grotius argues that the seas should be free for all nations to navigate and trade upon, rather than being subject to the control of any one nation. He also argues that the Dutch have a natural right to participate in the East Indian trade, which was then dominated by the Portuguese. The book is a significant work in the history of international law and remains relevant to contemporary discussions about maritime law and trade.This Book Is In English And Latin.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
