This enormously influential work by Swiss diplomat and jurist
Emmerich de Vattel (1714 76) was first published in 1758, and is
credited with shaping modern international law by applying natural
law to international relations. Its argument for liberty and
equality proved influential upon the American Declaration of
Independence, with Benjamin Franklin commenting on its usefulness
to the drafters. The book was translated into English in 1760,
1787, and 1797: the latter version was revised by Joseph Chitty the
elder (1775 1841), a barrister and one of the most prolific legal
writers of his day, who published more than twenty books on law in
his lifetime, and also served as tutor or mentor to some of the
most influential lawyers of nineteenth-century England. First
published in 1834, Chitty's version amends the errors of the
anonymous 1797 translation, as well as revising and expanding the
explanatory notes.
