PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION
THE authors have freely used the substantive material as found in cases, codes, etc., which involve the principles of international law. Owing to the increasing importance of international negotiation, relatively more attention than usual has been given to matters connected with diplomacy. The appendices contain material which the authors have found advantageous to have easily accessible to each student. The study of this book should in all cases be supplemented by reference to a considerable number of the books mentioned in the bibliography.
