of the world, as an authority on international law. 

 In 1907 he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. As- 

 sociated with him in the University of Paris are 

 PIEDELIEVRE and PILLET, whose contributions to the 

 literature of the law of war are regarded with high respect, 

 and G. DE LAPRADELLE, whose collection of international 

 arbitrations is well known. BONFILS, of the University 

 of Toulouse, is the author of a treatise entitled " Manuel 

 de droit international public," which is regarded as the 

 standard general authority in French. The ponderous 

 treatise of PRADIER-FG-DERE, "Traite de droit interna- 

 tional public Europeen et Americain," in eight volumes, 

 is the most elaborate work of the kind in any language. 

 MERIGNHAC of Toulouse is likewise a well-known authori- 

 ty, and is the author of a number of works, the most 

 notable of which is his "Traite de droit international 

 public" in two volumes. DESPAGNET is another highly 

 respected writer in this field, and the author of many 

 publications, his principal contribution being a work 

 entitled "Cours de droit international public." An im- 

 portant contribution on international law as applied to 

 maritime warfare is DE B DECK'S "De la propriete prive"e 

 ennemie sous pavilion ennemi"; while LEMONON and 

 DUPUIS have both made substantial contributions to the 

 literature dealing with the work of the two Hague con- 

 ferences. Among other important French writers in this 

 field may be mentioned the older authorities, HAUTE- 



FEUILLE, PlSTOYE, DU VERDY, ROUARD DE CARD, and 



the more recent authors, FUNCK-BRENTANO, SOREL, 

 ROLLAND, VALLERY, POLITIS, DESJARDINS, DUPLESSIX, 

 BASDEVANT, IMBART DE LA TOUR, GUELLE, FERAND- 

 GIRAUD, FAUCHILLE (the learned editor of the "Revue 

 Generate de Droit international public"), and WEISS, 

 the author of a monumental work in four volumes 

 entitled "Droit international prive*."
