International Law. London: John Murray, 1909. 364 pp.
Reprinted 2005 by The Lawbook Exchange, Ltd. Cloth. New. $95.
* Baty provides a thorough review of international incidents
throughout nineteenth century Europe, the Near East and the Americas
relating to arbitration, penetration, territorialism and similar
subjects. He concludes that international law manifested in
agreements among nations would be supplanted by a less rigid system
governed by contracts. This will happen, he reasons, due to the
greater economic interdependence of nations brought about by
globalization. Anticipating the effects of 21st-century globalism,
Baty concludes by outlining the ways this interdependence will
occur, and some of its potential dangers. See illustration below.

public international law. This work focuses specifically on how the
League altered the recognition of states. “[This book is] both

pp. Stab-stitched pamphlet bound into recent period-style quarter

A handsomely bound copy of an uncommon title. $650.
* First edition. Probably written with editorial assistance from
Jefferson, Madison and Monroe, Hay’s treatise outlines the U.S.
Government’s position on expatriation, naturalization and the rights
of citizens. The impressment of British-born sailors from American
ships was the primary motivation for this work. The British defended
this practice by claiming that men born as British subjects cannot
renounce their citizenship. They were thus eligible for impressment.
Hey refutes this claim, which he supports through a survey of
authorities in common, international and Roman law. A Virginian, Hay
was U.S. Attorney General for Virginia and the son-in-law of James
Monroe. While Attorney General he was the prosecutor in Aaron Burr’s
trial for treason. American National Biography 10:365. Cohen,

From 1817 to 1819 he again visited several countries in Europe and
the Near East. Thereafter he studied law, entered politics, and was

is hoped that [this book] may be of general use to English students
commencing the serious study of Arabic, with a view whether to the
Indian or to the Egyptian service: its immediate raison d’etre,
however, is of a more special nature. The recognition of Muslim law,
and especially such portions of it as relate to family rights...in
our West African Colonies and Protectorates, has created a need for
some handbook in which the principles (at least) of that law might
be studies by commissioners and other legal officers on whom mainly
falls the responsibility for its due administration.”: Preface vii.

With indexes. Suarez, a theologian and jurist who wrote treatises on
political philosophy, the state and sovereignty, was one of the
greatest thinkers produced by the Jesuit order. His Tractatus de
Legibus, Ac Deo Legislatore is a landmark work that proposes a
sophisticated system of international law based on natural law. It
was a significant influence on the work of Grotius and Pufendorf. An
English translation was published in 1679. KVK locates 9 copies of

* “This book was written by members of the War Crimes Commission and
its secretariat. It is rightly claimed to be more than a history of
the work of the United Nations War Crimes Commission. Its object is
in the words of Lord Wright, the chairman of the Commission, ‘to
exhibit some crucial features of the development during the War of
1939-1945 of the law of war crimes, for the instruction of those who
may be minded to gather up the rules which have emerged and to
analyze their import and character.’ There can be no doubt that the
authors have succeeded in their task and that the book will take a
prominent place among the post-war contributions to public
International Law.”: J. Northey, University of Toronto. Law

British government tried Capt. Sadaichi and nine of his officers and
men in Singapore for their maltreatment of British, American, Dutch
and Indian POWs, some of whom were captured after the fall of
Singapore in 1942. Most of the abuses were connected with their
forced labor in the construction of the Burma-Siam Railway, which
earned the nickname “Railway of Death.” (The story of the British
POWs who were forced to build another section of this railway
inspired The Bridge Over the River Kwai.)

Commander-in-Chief of German troops in Norway from 1940
to 1944. He was notorious for his harsh treatment of prisoners of
war, especially British commandos, many of whom he had executed.
This is why he was tried as a war criminal. A British tribunal
sentenced him to 20 years’ imprisonment.
