Excerpt from The Law of War
Some few of the most important cases have been inserted in the text, an addition which it is hoped will increase the interest of the subject as well as the clearness of the rule illustrated.
I have availed myself freely of the learned and elaborate works of eminent International Jurists, but, except in the case of quotations at length, I have refrained from constant acknowledgment of my obligation, which is "as great as it is obvious." I must, however, make a special acknowledgment of my indebtedness, in writing the last chapter, to Mr. Waraker's Naval Warfare of the Future, and Mr. Lawrence's essay upon the same subject, although I have found myself at issue with some of the arguments of the former and with the conclusions of the latter.
The freedom of International Law from the technicality which hedges most if not all branches of municipal law is a feature which should especially commend a study of its principles to the general reader; and such a study, moreover, can alone enable him to appreciate the magnitude of important international questions in which his country may be interested, and which he himself may, in however small a way, help to decide.
