The Law of Nations: An Introduction to the International Law of Peace.

The long scope of Brierly's scholarship, together with the simplicity and brevity of his prose, make The Law of Nations the standard introduction to its field, and widely popular in many different countries. Providing a comprehensive overview of international law, this classic book is essential reading for all those interested in learning what role the law plays in the relation of states.

Grotius, de Jure Belli ac Pacis: A Bibliographical Accounts

In a preceding article has been described the first edition of the De Jure Belli ac Pacis, printed in Paris by Nicholas Buon in the spring of 1625. It would appear that this first edition was soon exhausted and Grotius set about the preparation of a second edition. He wrote to his brother William, August 29,1625, as follows: “Buon says that the edition of the Apologeticus is exhausted and that he has few remaining copies of the Law of War and Peace. Therefore he is preparing to reprint them both. I shall await the advice of my friends as to what they think ought to be changed or added.” How far he went with this is not clear. It was planned that the second edition would be printed by Buon, but delays intervened and Buon's death, April 22, 1628, took place probably when about half of the printing had been done. In writing to his brother William July 27, 1628, Grotius said: “My books concerning the Law of War and Peace have been revised by me in many places. Buon has died. His heirs are continually at odds. In the meantime I am considering whether I should send these books to Leyden.” At the end of 1628 he sent his brother a copy in which were noted emendations and additions. He said: ”I send you the books on the Law of War and Peace with not inconsiderable additions. I submit the care of these to you and your friends as, if I judge correctly, it is the most important of my works.”

The Annual Meeting of the Society

It is proposed that the Fifth Annual Meeting of the American Society of International Law be held at Washington, as usual, in the New Willard Hotel, on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, April 27–29, 1911, and the tentative programme prepared by the Committee on Programme continues the work of the Society in the matter of the codification of the international law of peace, and further takes up the question of aliens versus natives, as distinct from the protection accorded to aliens by the home governments, the topic of discussion at the last annual meeting.First, as to the codification of international law. The Third Annual Meeting appointed a committee to consider the question of the codification of international law, which committee presented to the Society at its last meeting a preliminary report in two parts, the first of which dealt with the scope and plan of codification and the second outlined the history and status of codification in general. For the text of the reports and the proposed classification and treatment of international law for the purposes of codification see Proceedings of the Fourth Annual Meeting, pages 197–227. The report was received and placed on file and the committee instructed to continue its work. Therefore, the matter of codification may be regarded as unfinished business and as such will be considered by the Society at,the session of Saturday morning, April 29th.
