About This Item
London:: W. Innys, R. Manby et al.,, 1738. 1/2 title and title page followed by "The Life of Hugo Grotius"; xxxvi, 817pp.. Grotius’s Rights of War and Peace is a classic of modern public international law which lays the foundation for a universal code of law and which strongly defends the rights of individual agents - states as well as private persons - to use their power to secure themselves and their property. Rebound in modern tan cloth with the spine ruled in gilt; two leather spine labels in gilt. A beautiful copy clean, bright and sound.
