Synopsis
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Présentation de l'éditeur
Mr. Picciotto in liis obituary notice of the late Professor Pitt Cobbett in theB ritish Year Book of International Law, 1920-21, that the Professor did not live to give us yet another edition of his Leading Cases. As Mr. Picciotto reminds us, this A vork is far more than a mere collection of cases. The commentaries, he says, witli which Professor Pitt Cobbett enriched the leading decisions were full of erudition and marked by qualities of clear and powerful thought and lucid expression. It was in the Third Edition that Professor Pitt Cobbett departed from the original design of his work by the addition of systematic notes. His declared object was to ensure a greater continuity of treatment and a fuller consideration of many recent changes both in the subject-matter and literature of international law. This object was successfully achieved, but only at tlie cost of making one volume into two. To have continued this line of treatment A vould have involved making two volumes into three. In preparing this edition, I have left the text substantially unaltered, and have refrained as far as possible from adding to the bulk of the notes. In respect of the latter, my principal object has been to bring them up to date. I have eliminated obsolete matter and reduced redundant cross-references.
