"One of the Most Valuable Contributions to the History of
International Law Yet Made" J.P. Bullington, Yale Law Review This
history is divided into three sections. The first, The Age of the
Prince, gives the history of fundamental doctrines of international
law regulating the intercourse between states on land and sea in
peace and war. The second, The Age of the Judge, is chiefly devoted
to commercial relations, the development of neutrality and maritime
law. The third, The Age of the Concert, addresses the conference
method of adjusting international problems, tracing its development
and accomplishments from its introduction at the Congress of Vienna
through the recently established League of Nations. Much useful
information on the social and economic forces that shaped the
development of international law is provided. Originally published
in 1928, it addresses several issues introduced or modified during
the First World War, such as aerial warfare, the right to search
neutral shipping and the protection of minorities, and an early
assessment of the League of Nations. Sir Geoffrey Butler 1887-1929]
was a Fellow of Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, a Member of
Parliament for the University of Cambridge and an expert on the
procedures of the League of Nations. His books include The Tory
Tradition: Bolinbroke, Disrali, Salisbury (1914), A Handbook to the
League of Nations (1919, final rev. ed. 1928) and Studies in
Statecraft (1920). Simon Maccoby, one of Butler's former students,
was a notable historian of English politics and society. A prolific
scholar and editor, his most important study is the six-volume
English Radicalism (1935-1961). The most striking feature of this
work is the method of treatment--quite the most effective which has
yet been employed in dealing with the subject. (...) The author
rarely, ventures a conclusion or an opinion, but when he does it
usually reveals a strong sense of reality, and a thorough knowledge
of the meaning of history. The compactness of the work reveals the
immense amount of labor which must have been expended in its
preparation. (...) Based on a wide knowledge of history, filtered
through an objective and realistic brain, this book must take its
place as one of the most valuable contributions to the history of
international law yet made. J.P. Bullington, Yale Law Review 38
