It set forth a system of international law that included principles of relationships between nations, international treaties, declarations of law and peace, rights and obligations of citizens and states, military service, and commerce among nations. The Law of Nations had a profound influence on the Founding Fathers, most notably George Washington and Benjamin Franklin. Originally published in 1758, it was translated into English in 1760.

This is a reprint of the 1854 American edition of Chitty's edition with notes and references by Edward D. Ingraham.
