“More ambitious in scope than successful in accomplishment. Altogether, we have read the work with distinct feelings of disappointment, the disappointment being heightened by the reflection that the author has undoubtedly grasped Benton’s historical importance, and that had he but bestowed on the execution of his task the care evident in gathering of materials, he would have given us a biography well worth while.”

Meili, Frederick. International civil and commercial law as founded upon theory, legislation and practice, tr. by A. R. Kuhn. [**]$3. Macmillan.
“The author was a delegate from Switzerland to the Hague international conferences, and this very thorough discussion was at least in part suggested by those conferences. The book of course deals with international private law as distinguished from international public law, and is in the main concerned with the continental views of this branch of jurisprudence.” (Outlook). “Mr. Kuhn has not only translated the work, but has supplemented it with additions from American and English law. Very useful lists, annotations, and bibliographies complete the work.” (R. of Rs.)
“It is a convenient, if not very skilfully planned survey of the whole field. The information which it furnishes as to bibliography is not the least recommendation of the book. But the omissions are far from few.”

“Its exactness of method and thoroughness of research evidently make it a work of lasting value to the jurist accustomed to deal with large legal topics in a scientific manner.”

“Professor Meili has written a very useful book for students of comparative politics, as well as for lawyers.”
