Excerpt from International Law and International Relations, an Attempt to Ascertain the Best Method of Discussing the Topics of International Law

The following essay is a dissertation which I wrote last year as a candidate for a Fellowship at King"s College, Cambridge. Except in so far as it deals with the theory of International Law it is necessarily a mere sketch, as my object was only to state a theory and to give an outline of its application. It has interested some of its few readers sufficiently to encourage me to publish it. I have not amplified it at all because I can see no value in any work occupying an intermediate position between an essay intended to excite interest in the subject and to indicate what might be done and an elaborate work on International Law such as I may hope to write some day but for which much time and labour would be required. At the same time I have revised the essay and made some alterations in it. Its nature and purpose are further explained in the introductory letter which was prefixed to it in its earlier form and which I here reprint.
