Since the dissolution of the former U.S.S.R., twelve countries are now confronted with the task of defining their attitudes and policies towards the central means for law-making in the international community: the treaty. This comparative commentary on the law of treaties includes full texts in an original, authoritative translation of relevant legislation. It also contains informed commentary on every article in the laws, and an extensive classified bibliography.
In a draft attached to a letter to his friend and confidante
Wilhelm Fliess (May 31, 1897), Freud develops an idea: The
mechanism of fiction is the same as that of hysterical fantasies.
He supports this thought with a brief analysis of the biographical
sources of Goethe's Werther. A few months later, on October 15,
1897, Freud mails Fliess a detailed account of remembered events
from his childhood that, Freud believed, underlined the
universality of Oedipus Rex and Hamlet. Freud's foray into
literature initiated the beginning of a new critical approach. In
Essential Papers on Literature and Psychoanalysis, Emanuel Berman
presents classic and contemporary papers written at the
intersection of literature and psychoanalysis. In bringing these
essays together Berman traces the development of a discipline that
has often been plagued by a polarization between self-confident,
single-minded psychoanalysts reading literature as a series of case
studies and literary loyalists who cling to manifest content or to
the declared intentions of the authors, accepting them at face
value and depriving the work of its emotional complexity. Berman
covers the full range of old and new perspectives, and presents
selections from today's mature phase. This collection includes
papers by Sigmund Freud, Steven Marcus, Patrick J. Mahoney, Donald
Spence, Otto Rank, Ernest Jones, Ernst Kris, Phyllis Greenacre,
Florence Bonime and Maryanne Eckardt, David Werman, Ellen Handler
Spitz, Jacques Lacan, Shoshana Felman, Norman N. Holland, Roy
Schafer, Meredith Anne Skura, Gail S. Reed, Francis Baudry, Rivka
R. Eifermann, and Bennett Simon.
The Third Edition of International Litigation and Arbitration
comprehensively but compactly assesses the comparative advantages
and disadvantages of judicial and arbitral processes. The text
addresses traditional analytical issues-such as jurisdiction, proof
of foreign law, anti-suit injunctions, sovereign immunity,
trans-border evidence gathering, drafting and enforcing arbitral
contracts, and enforcing court judgments and arbitral awards-while
always keeping focus on the practical aspects that attend the
international representation of clients. Teacher and Student
Friendly-The Third Edition was designed by teachers for students.
From its use of cases and primary source materials to its inclusion
of probing, thought-provoking questions, the Third Edition will
stimulate students' imaginations and test their emerging
professional mettle in and out of the classroom. While the text
builds logically from chapter to chapter, each chapter also stands
on its own, offering teachers the flexibility to make the book work
for them. Coverage of Arbitration in the Russian Federation-The
Third Edition has one of the only thorough and up-to-date
English-language assessments of arbitration in the Russian
Federation available. Written by a leading expert on Russian law,
this coverage offers students important insights into comparative
arbitral law and practice. Sophisticated-The Third Edition goes
beyond a mere nuts-and-bolts investigation of the key issues in
international litigation and arbitration. It helps students see the
underlying policy concerns driving existing law and practice,
situating current norms in historical and socio-economic contexts.
Practice Oriented-While providing a sophisticated approach, the
Third Edition maintains a practical orientation, consistently
refocusing students on the roles international lawyers play when
representing clients before courts or tribunals. Single Volume-The
Third Edition incorporates relevant sections of treaties and
statutes so that professors do not need to assign, and students do
not need to purchase, additional supplements. Everything that
professors and students need is included in one reasonably sized
volume. Fully Updated-The Third Edition is fully updated to account
for developments through the start of 2020. The Third Edition adds
a new chapter on extraterritoriality; analysis of new developments,
including the current status of and policy debates surrounding
state-investor arbitration law and the pending replacement of NAFTA
with the USMCA; and new key cases from the United States as well as
a wide range of other jurisdictions.
Ivan Aleksandrovich Il'in (1883-1954) has become in post-Soviet
Russia one of the most eminent legal philosophers of the twentieth
century. This volume brings to an international readership for the
first time what is perhaps the most impassioned and prescient work
by a Russian jurist in support of the rule of law. Il'in has
heretofore been accessible only to those who have a command of
Russian, German, or, exceptionally French, and even then primarily
in circles where Russian emigre literature circulated. Originally
written and in galley proofs between 1916 and 1919, the final work
on legal consciousness was not published until 1956 in Germany and
only in the 1990s in Russia, where it has generated considerable
impact. Il'in's most original and influential contribution to legal
theory, this long-awaited English translation will inform
discussions of legal consciousness for decades to come. Il'in's
monograph is accompanied by one of his early and influential
articles on concepts of law and power and by essays devoted to
Il'in and the rule of law; the origin and transformations of the
concept of legal consciousness, and the origins of Il'in's treatise
on legal consciousness, a glossary of key legal terms, and a
bibliography of works by or devoted to Il'in.
A lavishly illustrated volume showcasing some of the most important
bookplates produced in America from the collection of the Grolier
Club. A miniature work of art, a bookplate may be viewed as a

the relationship between the artist and the patron. Illustrious
collectors ranging from Eleanor Roosevelt to Harry Elkins Widener,
J.P. Morgan and Paul Mellon come to life through bookplates by such
celebrated figures as Dorothy Sturgis Harding, Eric Gill, Walter
Crane, Rudolph Koch, and Rockwell Kent. Grolier Club Bookplates,
Past & Present is a veritable who’s-who of both book
collectors and the graphic artists who created their personalized
ex-libris over the past 130 years, down to the present day. This
carefully researched and amply annotated book not only provides a
feast for a bibliophile’s eyes but also explores the meaning
behind bookplates and their legacy as cultural indicators in book
history.

Transcribed by William E. Butler into English for the first time,
from Du Ponceau's hand, a translation of Gerard de Rayneval's On
the Freedom of the Sea. A previously overlooked and unpublished
contemporary translation by Peter S. Du Ponceau of the classic
treatise by Joseph-Mathias Gerard de Rayneval, De la liberte des
mers (Paris, 1811), edited with an extensive introduction by
William E. Butler.
Successor two centuries later to Grotius' classic writings on the
freedom of the seas, Gerard de Rayneval's work affirmed the
principles of natural and positive law applicable to naval warfare,
privateers, the law of prize, the deep seabed and high seas,
neutrality, and international straits from a French perspective
deeply sympathetic to American views of the time. Gerard de
Rayneval cherished the hope that Napoleon might be inspired by the
work to draft a code of maritime law. This treatise informed
negotiations that led to the 1856 Declaration of Paris and was
widely cited by continental jurists during the 19th century.
"Professor William Butler's careful scholarship and clear
presentation bring to life an important translation of Gerard de
Rayneval's work on the law of the sea, a topic of continuing
interest to scholars and mariners alike in the 21st century.
Professor Butler's detailed introduction and editing of Du
Ponceau's translation offer essential background for familiar
maritime concepts and adds richness to the body of work explaining
the legal regimes surrounding the use of the world's seas." --James
W. Houck Vice Admiral, Judge Advocate General's Corps, U.S. Navy
(Ret.), Interim Dean and Distinguished Scholar in Residence, Penn
State, The Dickinson School of Law
WILLIAM E. BUTLER is the John Edward Fowler Distinguished

University, Emeritus Professor of Comparative Law, University of
London, Foreign Member, National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine and
National Academy of Legal Sciences of Ukraine.
JOSEPH-MATHIAS GERARD DE RAYNEVAL (1736-1812) was First Deputy
Minister of Foreign Affairs and an international lawyer. He was a
significant mediator in Anglo-French relations who composed an
important memorandum of French strategy for secret assistance to
the Americans entitled "Reflections on the Situation in America"
(1776). He was a key negotiator in the commercial Eden Treaty
(1786), which was signed by him on behalf of France. In 1804 he was
awarded the Cross of the Legion of Honor for his contributions to
the literature of international law.
PETER STEPHEN DU PONCEAU (1760-1844) was a Franco-American jurist
who came to America at the age of 17 and lived in Philadelphia,
where he practiced international law until his death. He was
president of the American Philosophical Society. In 1810 he
published a translation of Bynkershoek's A Treatise on the Law of
War.
REPRINT OF THE RARE EVATS TRANSLATION The second English
translation of Hugo Grotius' landmark work, De Jure Belli Ac Pacis
(1625), translated by William Evats (c.1606/7-1677) and published
in London in 1682. As William E. Butler points out in his
introduction to this reprint: "The early English translations of
the works of Hugo Grotius on the law of nations are not the product
of legal scholars or legal scholarship. We are indebted primarily
to theologians for their appearance, either because Grotius figured
prominently in theological discourse at various periods after his
death or because his legal writings were espoused by dons dedicated
to the cause of peace who considered the Grotian contributions to
the law of nations to be a constructive step in the direction of a
more peaceful world community." --William E. Butler, X HUGO GROTIUS
1583-1645], a pre-eminent contributor to international legal
doctrine, was an influential Dutch jurist, philosopher and
theologian. His many important works include De Jure Belli ac Pacis
The Law of War and Peace] (1625), which is widely considered to be
the first master treatise on international law, and Mare Liberum
The Freedom of the Seas] (1609), in which he argues against
territorial sovereignty of the seas.
The first English translation of De Jure Belli et Pacis Libre Tres
(by Clement Barksdale). In this momentous work Grotius describes
situations in which war is a valid tool of law enforcement and
outlines principles for the use of force. Though based on Christian
natural law, Grotius advances the novel argument that his system
would still be valid if it lacked a divine basis. In this regard he
points to the future by moving international law in a secular
direction. This 1655 edition is the first English translation of De
Jure Belli et Pacis Libre Tres (1625). Barksdale's edition "is
perceived to be part of a larger movement in England aimed partly
at setting out an ideological alternative to reformation proposals
under discussion and to clarifying the relations between civil and
ecclesiastical authority in England" (Butler, xii). "Barksdale
became a veritable "Grotian" factory, the full measure of which has
never been appreciated." --WILLIAM E. BUTLER, xii HUGO GROTIUS
1583-1645], a pre-eminent contributor to international legal
doctrine, was an influential Dutch jurist, philosopher and
theologian. Grotius is also known for Mare Liberum (1609), which
argues against territorial sovereignty of the seas.
One of the greatest figures in modern international law, James
Brown Scott 1866-1943] intended to publish an autobiography titled
Adventures in Internationalism. He wrote a few paragraphs for this
book, but he never completed it. He decided instead to entrust his
life's story to George A. Finch, a protege and friend. Finch began
work on a biography with Scott's participation in the late 1930s,
but he never completed it. Using Finch's manuscripts and notes
Butler has produced a compelling study of Scott's key role in the
international law movement, participation in several important
diplomatic conferences and work as an author, secretary of the
Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and guiding force behind
the American Society of International Law. " Scott] fathered and
fostered the development of international law during the greatest
period of its history." --Manley O. Hudson, Harvard Alumni Bulletin
XXXIII No. 14 (1 January 1931) 419. George A. Finch 1884-1957] was
James Brown Scott's assistant and literary executor. He served as
assistant director of the Division of International Law at the
Carnegie Endowment, and, upon Dr. Scott's retirement, became that
division's secretary and director. He was president of the
Inter-American Academy of International and Comparative Law and
held several positions at the American Society of International
Law. At the time of his death he was honorary vice-president of the
society and the honorary editor of its journal. He was the author
of The Sources of Modern International Law (1937). William E.
Butler is the John Edward Fowler Distinguished Professor of Law at
Penn State University's Dickinson School of Law. He is the
preeminent authority on the law of Russia and other former Soviet
republics and the author, co-author, editor, or translator of more
than 120 books on Soviet, Russian, Ukrainian and other Commonwealth
of Independent States legal systems. Professor Emeritus of
Comparative Law at the University of London, Professor Butler is
the founder and director of The Vinogradoff Institute, which
operates as a unit of Penn State Dickinson. The recipient of
numerous honors for his service to Russian and international law,
Professor Butler is an Academician of the National Academy of
Sciences of Ukraine and the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences and
is serving his third term as a member of the Russian International
Court of Commercial Arbitration.

Includes the text of Vol. 1, No. 1 (Oct. 21, 1876) to Vol. 1, No.
26 (April 14, 1877), originally published: St. Paul, Minn.: J.B.
West & Co. 1876-1877. "In 1876, John B. West, twenty-four years
old, launched a new publication that would within a decade evolve
into the National Reporter System. As a traveling salesman for an
office supply company in St. Paul, young West visited many
Minnesota attorneys. He learned that the official publishers of
court reports were chronically slow. West was later to say that if
the official state publishers had been properly doing their jobs
there would have been no need for his reporters. His first
publication, The Syllabi was an eight-page weekly news-sheet that
contained "prompt and reliable intelligence as to the various
questions adjudicated by the Minnesota Courts at a date long prior
to the publication of the State Reports." Its immediate popularity
among the bar soon forced it to outgrow its original format and
coverage. In early 1877, only six months after it had begun, The
Syllabi was replaced by the North-Western Reporter. The reporter,
another weekly, was also a transitional publication. It contained
the full text of all Minnesota Supreme Court decisions and
Minnesota federal court decisions, as well as those from the
Wisconsin Supreme Court in cases "of special importance." This
publication lasted two years, four semi-annual volumes. In 1879,
West announced a new series of the North Western Reporter (the
first of the modern West regional reporters) that would publish the
full text of all current supreme court decisions from Iowa,
Minnesota, Michigan, Nebraska, Wisconsin, and the Dakota Territory.
The Federal Reporter and the Supreme Court Reporter began within
the next two years and, in 1885, West Publishing (as it was
incorporated in 1882) announced the publication of four new
reporters that, along with its current reports, gave it nationwide
coverage. (.) The National Reporter System was soon proclaimed to
have "Unquestionably revolutionized the whole plan of law
reporting." --Thomas A. Woxland & Patti J. Ogden, Landmarks in
American Legal Publishing. An Exhibit Catalogue 38-40.
