Excerpt from The International Law and Custom of Ancient Greece and Rome, Vol. 1 of 2

I may point out that such readers as are un acquainted with the ancient or modern languages will be able to follow the main substance of the work, inasmuch as the citations are either translated, or their purport briefly embodied in the text, according as circumstances required. In the ease of the longer passages from Thucydides and Polybius, I have grate fully availed myself of the fine translations of Jowett and Dr. Shuckburgh respectively.

I had intended to give here a r�sum� of the subjects of public and private international law that I have considered, to indicate my reasons for their present arrangement, to show the connection of the chapters and their logical sequence, and to draw attention to the methods of exposition I have generally adopted; but, I think, all this will clearly enough appear partly in the analytical contents, and partly in various places in the course of the earlier chapters. I may say, however, that Greece and Rome have been consistently treated side by side, and, for the most part, compara tively; so that their respective acceptance of and insistence on juridical principles, and their application of a regularized procedure and legal methods to inter national relationships will thus be the more forcibly emphasized.
