History Of The Law Of Nations, In Europe And America

""History of the Law of Nations, in Europe and America: From the Earliest Times to the Treaty of Washington, 1842"" is a book written by Henry Wheaton and published in 1845. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the development of international law in Europe and America from ancient times to the mid-19th century. Wheaton's work is divided into three parts: the first covers the ancient and medieval periods, the second focuses on the modern era, and the third examines the state of international law in the mid-19th century. Throughout the book, Wheaton examines the key legal concepts that have shaped the development of international law, including sovereignty, territorial integrity, and the law of war. He also explores the role of international institutions, such as the United Nations and the International Court of Justice, in the enforcement of international law. Wheaton's book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of international law, as well as for scholars and practitioners in the field. It provides a detailed and well-researched account of the evolution of international law, and offers insights into the legal and political forces that have shaped this important area of law over the centuries.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
