1845), and VIVIEN ("Etudes administratives," 2 vols., 

 1852), laid the foundations of a great branch of juris- 

 prudence such as is not found in America. This literature 

 was later enriched by the more comprehensive treatises 

 of LAFERRIERE ("Traite de la juridiction administrative," 

 2 vols., 1887-1888; the standard work on the subject), 

 of BATBIE ("Traite theorique et pratique du droit public 

 et administratif," 7' vols., 1862), and DUFOUR, ("Traite 

 general de droit administratif, " 8 vols., 1867-1870). 

 Of the living authorities in this field, the best known are

 of Paris, whose recently published work, "Les principes 

 generaux du droit administratif," reflects the highest 

 credit upon French scholarship; HAURIOU, of Toulouse, 

 author of many works in this field, the best known of 

 which is his "Precis de droit administratif et de droit 

 public" (8th ed., 1914); MOREAU, of Aix-Marseilles, 

 author of a notable study entitled "Le reglement ad- 

 ministratif;" BREMOND; JACQUELIN; TESSIER; CAHEN; 

 and others, the titles of whose studies it is impossible 

 for lack of space to mention. It may be safely said 

 that no other country has produced so many distin- 

 guished writers in this field, or a literature so extensive 

 and valuable. 



In the field of International Law, both public and 

 private, the French have likewise long held a preeminent 

 place. No other country has produced a larger number 

 of high authorities or a more extensive and scholarly 

 literature. It is impossible here to do more than merely 

 mention the names of the leading authorities. By com- 

 mon consent, RENAULT of Paris is recognized as occupy- 

 ing the first place among the scholars of France, if not
