Abstract

BOOK REVIEWS 115 The Indian Year Book of International Affairs, 1964 Vol. XIII Part II. Studies in the History of the Law of Nations (Grotian Society Papers). The Grotian Society was formed in 1960 by a group of international lawyers seeking to revive the study of the history of international law. This special supplement to the Indian Year Book of International Affairs brings together some of its papers. Distinguished authors from six countries write on such subjects as "Rationalism and Voluntarism in the Fathers of International Law," "Gentili On the Qualities of the Ideal Ambassador," "G. F. de Martens on Asian Treaty Practice," "The Contribution of the League of Nations to International Law" and "The Law of Nations and the Rhetorical Tradition of Legal Reasoning." The papers are of a high standard and should prove of interest not only to students of international law but also to students of inter­ national politics. The concerns of the classical international lawyers were essentially the same as those of the contemporary social scientists who devote themselves to "the theory of international politics". It is by immersing themselves in the sort of issues treated in this volume that the latter can best provide their subject with the historical and philosophical depth it seems so often to lack.
