London: Longman, Green And Co., 1867-69..

Todd was librarian of the Legislative Assembly of Upper Canada and subsequently of the Dominion Parliamentary Library in Ottawa. "[His] most significant work was undoubtedly On Parliamentary Government in England.These.volumes were well received and made him an eminent authority throughout the empire. Indeed the Edinburgh Review declared that it was "a remarkable circumstance that we should be indebted to a resident in a distant colony.for one of the most useful and complete books which has ever appeared on the practical operation of the British Constitution." The Westminster Review called it "the most complete treatise" on royal prerogative and on parliamentary privilege.His treatise.emphasized the history of executive authority in the British system and "sought to vindicate for the monarchical element its appropriate sphere." (Bruce W.Hodgins, DCB, Vol. XI, p. 884) The second volume was dedicated by Todd to Sir John A.Macdonald and the late Thomas D'Arcy McGee. Sweet & Maxwell II 358.

VATTEL, [Emmerich] de [1714-1767].
Le Droit Des Gens, Ou Principes De La Loi Naturelle, Appliqués à la Conduite & aux Affaires des Nations & des Souverains.
Leyden: 'Aux Dépens De La Compagnie', 1758..
2 Volumes in 1. 4to. pp. 18 p.l., 228; 8 p.l., 162. title in Vol. I in red & black. engraved title vignettes. woodcut ornaments. later sheep (very worn but solid, head of spine & corners damaged, title with 2 small rubberstamps & with bookplate on verso, paper label on lower spine). Second Edition (?) (published the same year as the first) of this classic of international law. The author, a Swiss jurist and diplomat, followed in the tradition of Leibnitz and Wolff, but abandoned the mathematical method and Wolff's notion of the 'world state'. He claimed that one could discover the ultimate bais of all legal institutions, including the natural law of nations, in the concept of utility derived from the postulates of ideal reason. Vattel's work was widely read and "for decades exercised a decisive influence on statesmen." (Encyc. of Social Sciences) It found particular favour in America, where editions far outnumbered those in France. Madison included it in his 1783 list of books recommended to form a library for the Continental Congress. Camus-Dupin 145. Einaudi 5838. Higgs 1877. cfCioranescu 62938. cfGraesse VI 265. cfMarke 583. cfMarvin p. 706.
