WHEATON'S INTERNATIONAL LAW. 



ELEMENTS OF INTERNATIONAL LAW, 



BY HENRY WHEATON, LL. D. 



Minister of the United States at the Court of Prussia, ^-c. 



Third edition, revised and corrected. In one large and beautiful octavo volume of six hundred and 

 fifty pages. Extra cloth, or fine law sheep. 



"In preparing for the press the present edition of the Elements of International Law, the 

 work has been subjected to a careful revision, and has been considerably augmented. The 

 author has endeavored to avail himself of the most recent questions which have occurred 

 in the intercourse of States, and has especially sought for those sources of information in 

 the diplomatic correspondence and judicial decisions of his own country, which form a rich 

 collection of instructive examples. He indulges the hope that these additions may be found 

 to render it more useful to the reader, and to make it more worthy of the favor with which 

 the previous editions have been received." — Preface. 



Hon. Chancellor Kent says : — " The book is admirably got up as to paper, type and bind- 

 ing, and the merits of the work are well worthy of all that attention and care. I entertain 

 no doubt that the demand will equal your expectations." 



Professor Greenleaf says: — "It is a beautiful book, and does great credit to the pub- 

 lishers, as the work itself has already done to the distinguished author." 



" We are not surprised that a third edition of this profound and invaluable work has been 

 called for. Its appearance at this juncture, when the exigencies of the country have directed 

 every intelligent and inquiring mind to the study of the mutual rights and duties of nations, 

 is opportune. To the study of this glorious science, Mr. Wheaton has brought a powerful, 

 and enlightened mind, vast energies in research, and a comprehensive and philosophical 

 spirit. He is profound without being heavy; and his style, while it has all the dignity which 

 the subject demands, is animated and agreeable. The work is especially valuable in this 

 country, as it treats, with great fulness, of the American decisions and views bearing upon 

 the subject. Mr. Wheaton's work is indispensable to every diplomatist, statesman and 

 lawyer; and necessary indeed to all public men^ To every philosophic and liberal mind 

 the study must be an attractive, and in the hands of our author it is a delightful one. The 

 work is 'got up' by the publishers in a style that might be adopted as a model for that class 

 of publications. We are glad to see that the war against eyes, so long prosecuted in printing 

 professional works, is being abandoned; those who have not been already blinded by the 

 mote-like minuteness of the type in the publications of some years back, will appreciate and 

 enjoy the clear and expanded pages now before us." — North American. 



HILL ON TRUSTEES. 



A PRACTICAL TREATISE ON THE 



LAW RELATING TO TRUSTEES; THEIR POWERS, DUTIES, 

 PRIVILEGES AND LIABILITIES. 



BY JAMES HILL, 



OF THE INNER TEMPLE, BARRISTER AT LAW. 



EDITED BY FRANCIS J. TROUBAT, 



OF THE PHILADELPHIA BAR. 



In one large octavo volume. 



" As to the merits of the author's work, the editor can confidently say that, in his opinion* 

 it far surpasses any other on the same subject. Every lawyer who peruses or consults it, 

 will most certainly discover that Mr. Hill writes like a man who has a reputation to lose 

 and not to build up. Such writers are few and precious. The editor begs leave to iterate 

 the important observation made by the author, that his work is principally intended for the 

 instruction and guidance of trustees. That single feature very much enhances its practical 

 value." — American Preface.
