* “The author has sought to arrange under their appropriate topics
and to discuss in their historical setting the more important
of the 195 decisions of the United States Supreme Court on matters
of international law handed down during the administration of
Chief Justice John Marshall, 1801-1835. It was not an ungrateful
attempt, for the wisdom and statesmanlike judgment of Marshall
are as well exemplified in the 80 opinions he wrote on international
law as they are in those he wrote on constitutional law. Mr. Ziegler
has performed his task con amore, and, on the whole, performed
it well. He had at his disposal the voluminous repository of Beveridge’s
researches, Warren’s work on the Court, and John Bassett Moore’s
appreciation of Marshall’s contributions. But the author has,
in addition, analyzed the decisions, the authorities cited or
relied upon by Marshall, arguments of counsel and, to a considerable
extent, Grotius and Vattel, and some of the influences, political
or personal, that influenced Marshall.”: Edwin Borchard, Harvard
Law Review 54 (1940-1941) 168. See illustration below.
