Excerpt from International Law: A Series of Lectures Delivered Before the University of Cambridge 1887
The eminent man who founded the Whewell Professorship of International Law and earnest and express injunction on the occupant of this chair that he should make it his aim, in all parts of his treatment of the subject, to lay down such rules and suggests such measures as might tend to diminish the evils of war and finally to extinguish war among nations.
These words of Dr. Whewell, which occur in his will and in the statute regulating his professorship, undoubtedly contain both a condemnation and a direction. International Law in its earlier stages was developed by a method of treatment which has been applied to many important subjects of thought when their growth has reached the point at which they are included in books - to theology, to morals, and even, in some cases, to positive private law.
