Talbot Publishing 2026. Parry, Clive; Anthony Parry, Editor. Piracy and Slavery in the Nineteenth Century. International Law Opinions. Clark, New Jersey: Talbot Publishing, 2026. xxxvii, 427 pp. ISBN-13: 978-1-61619-713-1; ISBN-10: 1-61619-713-7. Hardcover. New. $95. * Piracy and Slavery in the Nineteenth Century publishes for the first time a substantial part of the late Professor Clive Parry's unfinished British Digest of International Law. Drawing principally on the opinions of the Law Officers of the Crown, these materials reveal how nineteenth-century British lawyers confronted the practical legal problems arising from piracy, slavery and the suppression of the slave trade. Their advice illuminates the development of international law on jurisdiction, sovereignty, maritime enforcement and the position of the individual. Edited and introduced by Anthony Parry, the volume places this previously unpublished material in its historical and legal context and makes available an important source for the study of British State practice and the development of international law. Anthony Parry's book, Piracy and Slavery in the Nineteenth Century: International Law Opinions, compiles historical opinions from Crown Law Officers that examine the legal and diplomatic mechanics behind Britain's 19th-century campaign to suppress the slave trade. Set against Jamaica's recent petition to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council regarding slavery and reparations, the volume provides essential historical context on international law, treaty obligations, and the complexities of abolition. Rather than settling past responsibilities, the material highlights the immense legal and diplomatic challenges involved in translating abolitionist intent into international frameworks. Clive Parry (1917-1982) was Professor of International Law at the University of Cambridge and a Fellow and Vice-Master of Downing College. One of the leading international lawyers of his generation, his distinctive contribution was to uncover and make accessible the practice of States as evidence of the formation and development of international law. He edited the British Digest of International Law, the 231-volume Consolidated Treaty Series, the British Law Officers' Opinions to 1860 and British International Law Cases, and wrote important works on nationality.
