"It is not easy to rate too highly the value of the study of International Law, whether looked upon as a supplement to other legal and historical studies, or as a substantive study having its end in itself." Such is the remark with which Professor Amos introduces his learned and valuable Lectures on International Law; and it sufficiently indicates the purpose of the work which-on this twelfth anniversary of the occupation of Charlestonis respectfully presented to the noble profession which its author so well, so peculiarly adorned. 53 State St., Boston, Feb. 18, 1877.
