[*] Smith, Frederick Edwin, and Sibley, N. W. International law as interpreted during the Russo-Japanese war. [*]$5. Boston bk.
“We welcome this attempt to estimate the present state of the science [of war] in the light of the new precedents created.... [The authors] have reviewed the whole history of the operations, and dealt with every point raised, from the volunteer cruisers to the use of wireless telegraphy, in a lucid and scholarly manner.... A large number of useful documents are reprinted in the appendices, and the authors have written a short but admirably clear introduction on the meaning of international law.”—Spec.
[*] “By far the most interesting part of the volume consists of the chapters, full of detail, and well considered, relating to neutrality; chapters so full and complete that they might with small change form parts of a treatise on international law. It is a piece of well-knit, solid work. It embodies research and care. A spirit of moderation, a sense of responsibility, is present.”
