Law of Nations

Vattel, Emmerich De

Foreign & International Law

Ams Pr Inc

This enormously influential work by Swiss diplomat and jurist Emmerich de Vattel (1714-76) was first published in 1758, and is credited with shaping modern international law by applying natural law to international relations. Its argument for liberty and equality proved influential upon the American Declaration of Independence, with Benjamin Franklin commenting on its usefulness to the drafters. The book was translated into English in 1760, 1787, and 1797: the latter version was revised by Joseph Chitty the elder (1775-1841), a barrister and one of the most prolific legal writers of his day, who published more than twenty books on law in his lifetime, and also served as tutor or mentor to some of the most influential lawyers of nineteenth-century England. First published in 1834, Chitty's version amends the errors of the anonymous 1797 translation, as well as revising and expanding the explanatory notes.

The Law of Nations outlined a plan for international law and diplomacy as we now know it. It set forth a system of international law that included principles of relationships between nations, international treaties, declarations of law and peace, rights and obligations of citizens and states, military service and commerce among nations. The Law of Nations had a profound influence on the Founding Fathers, most notably George Washington and Benjamin Franklin. Originally published in 1758, it was translated into English in 1760. Joseph Chitty, the distinguished English legal scholar, produced this edition to bring it to the attention of a wider audience. This is a reprint of the 1854 American edition of Chitty's edition with notes and references by Edward D. Ingraham.
