This series, which includes the classic works connected with the history and development of international law, was undertaken by the Carnegie Institution of Washington in 1906, at the suggestion of Dr. James Brown Scott, then Solicitor for the Dept. of State, under whose supervision as General Editor the series has been published. On January 1, 1917, the project was transferred to the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. The present work completes the series.

The republication of these classics has been undertaken principally due to the difficulty of procuring the texts in convenient form for scientific study. The text of each author in a language other than English is reproduced photographically, so as to lay the source before the reader without the mistakes which creep into a newly printed text, and is accompanied by an English version made expressly for the series by a competent translator. Introductory material prefaces each book, giving details concerning the author and his work and stating the importance of the texts and its place in international law.

This special list can assist you by acting as a checklist of the collection for your library. We also have included catalog listings from A Catalogue of the Law Collection at New York University (with Selected Annotations) with each author entry...

	Zouche published many books, but it is his book on international law, published in 1650, which has given him lasting fame. He was a disciple both of Gentilis and of Grotius. His books contained a critical summary of their results, and popularized their work in England and Scotland. He helped to make the new international law a part of English law, and his works have more than a merely insular fame. This was due to three very considerable merits which they possess...In his book international law appeared for the first time in a compact and orderly form....He so clearly defined it that no one for the future could be under any misapprehension as to its scope...He originated the modern division of the subject into Peace and War. In his book the tradition, inherited from the medieval books, of grouping the whole subject round the laws of War, and was finally abondoned. Holdsworth. Sources:227.

	The name of Grotius must always be pre-eminent when we speak of the establislunent of the law of nations as a distinct body of doctrine. Many different theories have been put forward, generally determined by the contemporary fashion in moral philosophy, or by the writer's own philosophical predilections, rather than by any specific and appropriate development from within. It may therefore be not quite exact to say, in the accustomed phrase, that all subsequent workers have built on the foundation laid by Grotius. But we may safely say that at all event he assures the site...Frederick Pollock. The Sources of International Law. L.Q.R. 18:429.

	Vattel was a noted Swiss jurist who was born in 1714 and died in 1767. LeDroit des Gens is certainly a work of the first magnitude. It modernized the whole theory and business of International Law, brought it out of the study into the field, the mart, the council chamber, and the palace. The law of nations was no longer a mystery. One of its most brilliant, practical exponents became its popularizer. He did, indeed, much for nations, for he imposed upon them theories of moral rational development up to which it became, in a sense, necessary for them to live. C. Phillipson. Emerich de Vattel.

	Rachel was a German jurist who became a professor of moral philosophy in 1658 and in 1665 of natural law and of international law. "In international law...Rachel showed a decidedly original approach. In the formative period of international law, he was the first prominent protagonist of a positivistic attitude, in conscious opposition to Pufendorf, who had submerged the law of nations in natural law. Rachel stated his position in DeJure naturae.... (1676), Jus Gentium, he held, is a system of law independent of jus naturae and is based only upon agreements express or implied...Rachel was the first to establish the significance of international law as a separate science and to stress clearly its legally binding character...He stands out as the precursor of the eighteenth and nineteenth century positivist movement in international law.

In fact, as the general editor states, Textor has not hitherto been rendered into our language. . .One can have no two opinions of the importance of the work.

	This is a fourteenth-century book reproduced by the Carnegie Institute on a lavish scale... Legnano was a very learned Canonist of Bologna...There is a long section on reprisals, which appear to us....to be nearer to what we now call international law than any other part of the treatise...On the whole, Legnano deserves his place, we shall not dispute what place, among the "primitives" of the law of nations. The full text is for the first time published, for the printed book of 1477 proved unsatisfactory on critical examination, and Sir Thomas Holland has not shrunk from the labour of editing the whole afresh from a Bologna MS...and he has not only performed this in the best scholarly fashion, but added a bibliographical account of Legnano's works...L.Q.R. 33:403.

	Pufendorf (1623-1694) aims to combine the views of Hobbes and Grotius, yet inclines to the position of the former. According to Grotius, the social impulse urges men to socialize their condition, to found a State and to develop law; according to Hobbes it is fear of mutual extermination that drives men from the troublous primitive condition to the security of civic order. Pufendorf analyses man's natural disposition or nature, and finds a strong natural egoism antagonizing his social impulses; hence the social impulse cannot be accepted unreservedly as giving rise to the State, especially as man is equally endowed with anti-social inclinations. ..In place of Hobbes' motive of fear, Pufendorf advances concern for the future. While Hobbes regards the State as an instrument of protection, Pufendorf regards it as a preventive alliance; the distinction, however, is not a radical one. Berolzheimer:124.

	The Sovereignty of the Sea — The De Dominio Maris deals in a candid and unbiased manner with the much-disputed question of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The writer dispassionately examines in what cases the sea is capable of becoming the subject of sovereignty or exclusive jurisdiction; he discusses the pretensions to dominion that have from time to time, been made by States; he strenuously opposes the doctrine of Gentilis and Selden, and adopts the views of Grotius and Pufendorf as to the common right of nations to liberty of navigation, of commerce, and of fishing in the open sea.

	In Germany, the gap between Locke and Montesquieu was dominated, so far as politics proper was concerned, by the voluminous and extraordinarily systematic works of Johann Christian Wolff (1679-1754). Wolff in politics as in general philosophy, contributed relatively little of novelty, but made a very considerable impression by the exceedingly great precision with which he formulated and organized his ideas. His political doctrines were no different from those which through Grotius and Pufendorf had been before the world for several generations. Wolff's system was embodied in a treatment of (1) the law of nature, covering the whole matter of ethics, (2) the law of nations, covering all the principles of international relationships, and (3) politics covering the theory of the state...Dunning 11:374-375.

	Bynkershoek's attitude to International Law is rigidly legal rather than humanitarian. He concedes extreme powers to belligerents over the person and property of the enemy and draws no distinction between combatants and civilians or public and private property. Unlike Grotius, he refuses in general to consider the justice or injustice of the war as having any bearing upon the rights of the warring States and requires no declaration of war. He regards usage, particularly recent usage as exemplified by the treaties and edicts of his own State, as the main source of international rules, but is not sparing in his criticism of them when they run counter to reason, which to him is the final and immutable arbiter. Of the chapters not dealing with International Law, those on the liability of members of public corporations for the debts of the corporation and on expropriation are the most important. J. W. J. L.

	It is undoubtedly true that Pufendorf has had considerable influence and much that he writes on peace and war has a prophetic flavor as witness his discussion of pacts of mutual assistance and his advocacy of arbitration. As the title of his work implies, the book is by no means confined to the narrow field of international law. Pufendorf was trained as a mathematician and attempts to organize jurisprudence on a mathematical basis. Philip C. Jessup. Pot. Sic. Q. 46:460.

	In 1588, Gentili, who soon after taking the degree of doctor of Civil Law at the University of Perguia, fled to England on account of his Protestant opinions and whose lectures on Roman law at Oxford during the reign of Queen Elizabeth were famous, published the first part of his De jure belli. With the completion of this memorable work, a new era of international law soon began in Europe.

	The De Jure Naturae is a large work in eight books which presents an entire system of jurisprudence, private, public, and international, based on the conception of natural law. Pufendorf was a disciple of Grotius and was considered of "first rank" by Kent.

	...Grotius has...been justly considered as the father of the law of nations. He arose like a splendid luminary, dispelling darkness and confusion, and impairing light and security to the intercourse of nations...The object of Grotius was to correct...false and pernicious maxims, by showing a community of sentiment among the wise and learned of all nations and ages, in favour of the natural law of morality. He likewise undertook to show that justice was of perpetual obligation and essential to the well being of every society, and that the great commonwealth of nations stood in need of law, and the observance of faith, and the practice of justice. His object was, to digest in one systematic code, the principles of public right, and to supply authorities for almost every case in the conduct of nations. He had the honour of reducing the law of nations to a system, and of producing a work which has been resorted to as the standard of authority in every succeeding age...Kent 1:16-17.
