This work is a translation of de Raynevals 1803 classic The
Institutions of Natural Law and the Law of Nations. Having been
translated into Spanish shortly after its appearance, The
Institutions was the reference point of international law for much
of the French- and Spanish-speaking world during the Nineteenth
Century. As a result, arguably, it is the single most important
text of international law to appear between the 1814 Congress of
Vienna and the 1919 Treaty of Versailles. This, the first ever
English translation of de Raynevals The Institutions, provides the
English-language world with the last text conceived of, and
written, during the era of bilaterial, European, Law of Nations;
before the waltz into the Concert of Europe and the growth of
multilateral diplomacy, with its end point todays United Nations.
De Rayneval is a product of the Ancien Regime who turned to writing
The Institutions after having been purged from the Quai dOrsay by
the French Revolution. It may be said that in brokering the 1782
Peace of Paris which saw the United Kingdom recognise the United
States of America, that Rayneval ended the war which his brother
started; as it was Conrad-Alexandre de Rayneval who was the
architect of the previous French policy of supporting, and later
recognising, the American insurgence of the Thirteen Colonies.
Through his faithful translation and introductory essay, Jean
Allain makes this classic work accessible to the new audience of
the English-language World.
