Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Law of Nations in Europe and America, From the Earliest Times to the Treaty of Washington, 1842 This work was originally written and published in the French language as a Memoire in answer to the following prize question proposed by the Academy of Moral and Political Sciences in the Institute of France: "Quels sont les progres qu'a fait le droit des gens en Europe depuis la Paix de Westphalie?" In rendering it into our language the author has considerably enlarged the work, especially the introductory part relating to the history of the European law of nations previous to the peace of Westphalia. He has also subjoined a summary account of the international relations of the Ottoman Empire with the other European states, of the recent transactions relating to the interference of the great powers in the affairs of Greece and Egypt, and of the discussions between the United States and Great Britain, relating to the right of search as applicable to the African slave trade, terminated by the treaty of Washington in 1842.
