Excerpt from The Law of War Some few of the most important cases have been inserted in the text, an addition which it is hoped will increase the interest of the subject as well as the clearness of the rule illustrated. I have availed myself freely of the learned and elaborate works of eminent International Jurists, but, except in the case of quotations at length, I have refrained from constant acknowledgment of my obligation, which is "as great as it is obvious." I must, however, make a special acknowledgment of my indebtedness, in writing the last chapter, to Mr. Waraker's Naval Warfare of the Future, and Mr. Lawrence's essay upon the same subject, although I have found myself at issue with some of the arguments of the former and with the conclusions of the latter. The freedom of International Law from the technicality which hedges most if not all branches of municipal law is a feature which should especially commend a study of its principles to the general reader; and such a study, moreover, can alone enable him to appreciate the magnitude of important international questions in which his country may be interested, and which he himself may, in however small a way, help to decide.

Excerpt from The Laws of War on Land: Written and Unwritten The evolution of customary rules, designed to lessen the sufferings resulting from warfare, was the earliest achievement of the nascent science of International Law. It is, therefore, not surprising that, when, in quite recent times, efforts began to be made to formulate in writing the precepts of that science, by the quasi legislative action of the civilized Powers of the world in Conference assembled, the first topic so to be dealt with should be the conduct of war.

Excerpt from Elements of the International Law and Laws of War This abridgment has been prepared at the suggestion of a number of professors and instructors in our colleges and higher institutions of learning. The experience of our officers, both volunteers and regulars, in the great civil war which has just terminated, has proved that this subject has been too much neglected, not only in our colleges, but also in our two great national schools - the Military and Naval Academies. An attempt is here made to supply a suitable text-book for such instruction. The plan of the larger work has been closely followed, the chapters are the same, and only a few of the paragraphs have been changed. Therefore, the instructor or student who may desire to further investi gate any particular question, has only to turn to the corresponding chap ter and paragraph of the larger edition, and to refer to the authorities there quoted. It should be remembered that these authorities are not quoted in support of the author's opinions, but are often in conflict both with those Opinions and with each other.

Excerpt from On the Law of War and Peace, Vol. 3 Thus I have by nature a right to seize property of mine which another is holding and if such seizure is too difficult I have the right to seize something else of equal value, as in the case of recovering a debt. From these causes ownership also arises, because the equality which has been disturbed can in no other way be restored.

The first edition of this book became a standard work in the field, and it has been extensively revised and updated for the second edition. It is prepared with assistance from the official Depositaries of the various international agreements, and is an essential reference book for statesmen and diplomats, lawyers, journalists, and students of international relations and law. From reviews of the first edition: `Roberts and Guelff rely on the documents to speak for themselves, and are right to do so. Their becoming generally available in this neat and usable form is an event of much importance for all who take a serious interest in humanitarian law and endeavour, and the limitation of men's violence towards men.'New Society

Excerpt from The Army and the Law This book deals with the army only in its relation to the common law which governs the general public, and with the soldier only in so far as his activities are, in point of law, of interest to non-military persons. It is an en deavor simply to assemble the principles of law which impose duties upon the civilian, citizen, or enemy, quite as much as they give him rights which the army must observe. Hence I do not treat Of the rules governing the internal affairs of the army except in so far as they bear on its rights and Obligations with respect to people who are not members of its personnel. For the same reason, I have avoided men tion of the laws of war, and matters of strict international law, beyond such passing reference as might be necessary to indicate the boundaries of the jurisdiction of common law courts. Jurisdiction, as the Supreme Court has said, means simply the power to decide a case; 1 and many con troversies are possible with respect to the army which common law courts cannot decide. All such matters I have endeavored to classify as non-justiceable, and to say no more about them than might be necessary for purposes Of classification. Such is my appointed path, and for all deviations from it my apologies are tendered in advance. My thanks are due to all those who took a kindly interest in this work during its progress, including my partners and Dean Stone of Columbia Law School. My brother-in-law, Colonel S. J. B. Schindel, U. S. A., and my partner, Mr. C. R. Canter, were also kind enough to read the advance proofs and make valuable suggestions thereon.

Excerpt from The Rules of War on Land The idea of codifying the laws of war in their entirety originated with the late Dr. Francis Lieber, professor of political science and international law at Columbia University, New York. He was also the author of the code approved by President Lincoln, after having been examined with great care by General Halleck, himself a high authority upon the laws and usages of war, which was formulated in 1863 as General Orders, No. 100, for the government of the armies of the United States in the field. This order, as was said by M. De Martens at The Hague, has remained the basis of all subsequent efforts in the direction of the humanization of war. The annexe to The Hague convention, which embodies the Rules of war on Land is derived, in great part, from the codification of the Rules of War on Land which was prepared by the Institute of Inter national Law, and which was recommended for adoption by that body at its annual session at Oxford 011 September 9, 1890.
