CLASSICS OF INTERNATIONAL LAW. 



Scott, James Brown, General Editor, Washington, District of Columbia. 

 Preparation and publication of the Classics of International Law. (For 

 previous reports see Year Books Nos. 9-12.) 



No volumes in this series have been issued during the past year. It 

 may be stated, however, that the following works are in press: 



Legnano: De Bello, de Represaliis, et de Duello (1360, first printed in 1477). 



Vitoria : De Indis and De Jure Belli, contained in the Relectiones Theologicce, first pub- 

 lished in 1557. 



Grotius: De Jure Belli ac Pads Ldbri Tres (1625). 



Rachel: De Jure Naturae et Gentium (1676). 



Textor: Synopsis Juris Gentium (1680). 



Vattel: Le Droit des Gens ou Principes de la Loi Naturelle Appliques d la Conduite et 

 aux Affaires des Nations et des Souverains (1758). 



The texts of these classics have been photographically reproduced 

 by the Institution and the preparation of translations of the texts and 

 of introductions, with accompanying English translations where neces- 

 sary, is in progress. It is probable that most of these works will be 

 issued during the coming year. It may also be stated that, with a 

 view to ultimate publication, arrangements have been made for trans- 

 lations of the following classics: 



Gentihs: De Jure Belli, Advocatio Hispanica, and De Legationihus. 



Wolff: Jus Gentium. 



B3mkershoek : De Dominio Maris and Qucestiones Juris Puhlici. 



LITERATURE. 



Bergen, Henry, Brooklyn, New York. Completion of preparation for publica- 

 tion of an edition of Lydgate's Fall of Princes. (For previous reports see 

 Year Books Nos. 11-13.) 



In March, April, and May Dr. Bergen collated all doubtful points in 

 the text of the ''Fall of Princes" with the British Museum MSS., 

 Harley 4203 and Royal 18. B. XXXI, and with R. Tottel's printed 

 edition of 1554. Since then he has been engaged in otherwise prepar- 

 ing the text for the press. This work is now well under way. He has 

 also brought the glossary of the "Troy Book" down to those parts of 

 the letters S and T of the Oxford Dictionary which were pubhshed in 

 the spring of this year and expects soon to have the glossary of Lyd- 

 gate's "Troy Book" brought up level with the Oxford Dictionary and 

 copied out for the press. He has gathered material sufficient for the 

 completion of the edition of the "Fall of Princes" down to the final 

 corrections and the description of a few manuscripts in private Ubra- 

 ries, not yet seen.
