This, the first of a two-volume treatise, deals with international law in time of peace. An introduction discussing the foundation and development of the law of nations is followed by four parts: States as subjects of the laws of nations; State territory, the open sea, and individuals as the objects of the laws of nations; Diplomatic envoys, and the like, as agents of states in their international relations; and International transactions. The work aims to be an elementary text.
