Extract

Public international law has been sarcastically defined as “a compound of ethics, etiquette, and fraud, administered by armies and navies.” If in England and the United States it has ever worn such an appearance, this belied what with them is its real character. Their all-embracing common law has made both public and private international law a part of itself, to be administered, precisely as municipal law is, by the courts whenever a question turning upon their acknowledged rules may come up for judicial determination.
