HALL'S " INTERNATIONAL LAW."
A Treatise on International Law. By William Edward Hall, M.A. Fifth Edition, Edited by J. B. Atlay, M.A. (Clarendon Press. 21s. net.)—Mr. Hall's work on international law is to-day well recognised as the leading authority on many of the difficult and vexed questions that are now more or less open for decision in the law of nations. It is ten years since this brilliant jurist died, leaving the fourth edition of his great work completed for the press. It was passed through the press by Mr. Beresford Atlay, a jurist of repute who had helped in the preparation of the third edition, and who was particularly qualified to complete his friend's work. At the request of the delegates of the Clarendon Press, Mr. Atlay has now edited the fifth edition, and in doing so he has closely followed the method and ideas that inspired Mr. Hall.
