pier choice. The world-wide reputation which the eminent British pub- 

 licist has acquired, both by his courses on international law at Oxford, where 

 he has long been professor, and the many books which he has published, 

 was a sure guarantee that the introduction to the work of Zouche would 

 be perfect. * * * There is a fine portrait of the author as frontispiece 

 to this work. It is to be hoped that this collection, published under the 

 supervision of Mr. Scott, will continue to be enriched with editions as well 

 executed as this, and that they will not be long in appearing. The publica- 

 tion of this series is a landmark in the history of international law. The 

 learned American publicist deserves the thanks of the scientific world for 

 undertaking this work. (Vol. xix, 1912, pp. 419-420.) 



After the treatise of Zouche, the "Juris et Judicii Fecialis," edited by 

 Mr. Holland, there has now appeared the work of Balthazar Ayala, "De 

 Jure et Officiis BelUcis et Disciplina Militari," by Mr. Westlake. This new 

 work is in every respect a worthy successor to the first. The introduction 

 written by Mr. Westlake gives, with the customary conciseness of the 

 learned professor, complete biographical information concerning Balthazar 

 Ayala and an accurate commentary upon the different chapters of the 

 treatise which is reproduced. It sets out in perfect relief the ideas which it 

 contains and shows the influence which they had upon the development of 

 international law. The activity with which the publication of the Classics 

 is proceeding does great honor to Mr. Scott. The works he has selected for 

 publication and the jurists he has chosen to edit them also entitle him to 

 the gratitude of all who are interested in the law of nations. (Vol. xx, 

 1913, p. 546.)
