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.
