    Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. First Edition. xii, 706 p. Hardcover. Good binding and cover. Original boards, modern spine cloth. Minor rubbing to boards extremities. A clean copy with unmarked pages. Ladd's concept of the Congress of Nations was an early American proposal for an international peace regime, similar in many ways to the later League of Nations and United Nations. The essays presented are quite remarkable in their forward thinking and liberal/humanistic view of international relations. Particularly interesting topics include the international Slave Trade (primarily concerning Brazil), the post-Napoleonic Europe, the law of nations, rules of war, and the distinctly American internationalist perspective. Many of the writings appear to be influenced by a Quaker world view. Essays by John A. Bolles, Hamilton [pseud.]. M., [pseud] Thomas C. Upham, A friend of peace, and William Ladd. Appendix: Speeches, petitions, etc., concerning the establishment of a Congress of nations. Judges included John Quincy Adams, Joseph Story, and Daniel Webster.…
