The following Essays contain the substance of a course of lectures delivered at Cambridge in the Easter Term of the present year. My temporary position as Sir William Harcourt s Deputy in the Whewell Professorship of International Law gave me an opportunity of dealing, for the benefit of a few advanced students, with questions of little interest to men whose reading is confined to what is necessary for examination purposes. I had previously endeavoured to provide for the wants of the latter class by giving a more elementary course on the Laws of War. So much has been added to the lectures since they were delivered that I have preferred to publish them in the form of Essays. A considerable amount of matter which would obviously have been unsuited to the lectureroom thus finds its way into print I should not, for instance, have considered it possible to have retained the attention of my class, if I had asked them to listen to such a detailed examination of a diplomatic correspondence as is found in the second and third parts of the third Essay.
