OGILVIE, PAUL MORGAN. International waterways. *$3 Macmillan 387
20–2670
“‘International waterways’ is a history of the development of maritime enterprise. It sets forth the efforts of certain nations to secure the exclusive enjoyment of the seas. The first part of Mr Ogilvie’s book concludes with a critical discussion of the question of the freedom of commercial navigation. Part II is composed of a reference manual, where is to be found a list of all the international inland waterways of the world, together with the treaties and laws governing the same.”—Springf’d Republican
