Recently Published.
Two vols. demy 8vo, cloth, price 38s.

HALLECK'S INTERNATIONAL LAW;

OR, RULES Regulating the Intercourse of STATES IN PEACE AND WAR.

A New Edition, revised, with Cases.

BY SIR SHERSTON BAKER, BART.

"There is an air of reality and straightforward good sense in what he [General Halleck] writes, which we miss in the works of jurists who never smelt gunpowder, and never conducted important negotiations . . . He writes with an eye to the requirements of an admiral on a foreign station, a general in the field, a diplomatist, and a consul."-Times.

"Sir Sherston Baker has evidently expended on these volumes as much labour as would have sufficed for an original production; and with an amount of labour for which many readers will give him little credit."-Daily News.

"General Halleck's work, as that of a practical soldier and statesman, ought always to be maintained in use, both by students and men of affairs, by the side of the writings of amateurs or theoretical international lawyers."-Academy.
