“The book abounds in common-sense, and is full at the same time of religious and ethical suggestion. Dr. Herridge speaks profoundly, and cannot but set his readers thinking.”

Hershey, Amos Shartle. International law and diplomacy of the Russo-Japanese war. **$3. Macmillan.
7–3157.
“A fairly complete history, from the viewpoint of international law and diplomacy, of the war between Japan and Russia. The material is cast in a general narrative form, although each chapter is more or less complete by itself. The rights and duties of belligerents and neutrals are, of course, the main theme, although the questions of war correspondents, wireless telegraphy, and submarine mines come in for treatment. Copious notes and explanatory references, and last but not least, an excellent index, make the contents of the volume very accessible.”—R. of Rs.
“He is judicial, he is temperate, he is sound, he is wonderfully fair and liberal in his citations of authorities. In minor matters here and there one might take issue, but on the other hand there is original well-digested comment on almost every page upon a variety of hotly disputed questions, which will make the book of permanent value.” Theodore S. Woolsey.

“Professor Hershey writes in an easy style and the subject is treated in a way that attracts not only the student of international law but also the general reader. The manner of presentation is semi-historical giving the reader thus a view of the progress of the conflict as well as the diplomatic incidents, and legal questions that arose during its course.” Chester Lloyd Jones.
