" A]N EXCELLENT WORK...INDISPUTABLY THE BEST OF ITS KIND IN THE
ENGLISH LANGUAGE." --James Reddie, Inquiries into International Law
(1842) 106 Written when the author was a diplomat posted in Berlin,
this distinguished treatise went through several American and
English editions, and several more in French, Italian, Spanish and
Chinese. A standard work during the nineteenth century, an edition
was published in England as late as 1936. "Mr. Wheaton's early
familiarity with the jurisprudence and foreign relations of the
United States, his long experience in diplomacy, his intimate
acquaintance with European languages and foreign diplomatic
writers, entitles his writings upon International Law to more than
ordinary consideration. His works enjoy the highest reputation for
the soundness of their views, and the learning and research
displayed in illustrating the various topics discussed." --J.G.

Court from 1816 to 1827 and the author of several notable
