The Law of Nations; or Principles of the Law of Nature, Applied to the Conduct and Affairs of Nations and Sovereigns. From the French of Monsieur De Vattel. With Additional Notes and References by Edward D. Ingraham, Esq. Philadelphia: T.& J.W. Johnson, 1854. lxvi, 656 pp. Facsimile reprint, The Lawbook Exchange, Ltd. 2020. ISBN 9781616196424. Paperback.

Joseph Chitty [1775-1841] was one of the greatest barristers, teachers and legal authors of the nineteenth century. His treatises on contracts and criminal law were standard works in Great Britain and the United States.…
