Excerpt from The Law of Nations: Considered as Independent Political Communities; On the Rights and Duties of Nations in Time of War
The Author has endeavoured, in treating of the Rights and Duties of Nations in time of War, to observe, as far as the subject would permit, the same method of investigation, which he has found eminently convenient in discussing the Rights and Duties of Nations in time of Peace. He has accordingly sought to ascertain under each head the leading Principles, which lie at the foundation of the Law, by an historical analysis of the Practice which has prevailed amongst Nations at various times, as the earlier Practice will be found in most instances to disclose some general Principle, based upon an absolute view of Belligerent Right, the application of which has become modified in modem Practice, either under the civilising influence of Commerce, or in deference to some conflicting Right of Neutrals.
