c. xxix. n. 9.)

HAVING distinguished jus gentium from jus naturæ, he proceeds

to say of the former: "Ratio hujus juris est, quia humanum genus,

"quamvis in varios populos et regna divisum, semper habeat

"aliquam unitatem, non solum specificam, sed etiam quasi politicam

"et moralem, quam indicat naturale præceptum mutui amoris et

"misericordiæ, quod ad omnes extenditur, etiam extraneos et cujus-

cunque nationis. Quapropter licet unaquæque civitas perfecta,

respublica aut regnum sit in se communitas perfecta, et suis mem-

"bris constans; nihilo minus quælibet illarum est etiam membrum

aliquo modo hujus universi, prout genus humanum spectat. Nun-

66 quam enim illæ communitates adeo sunt sibi sufficientes sigillatim,

"quin indigeant aliquo mutuo juvamine et societate ac communica-

"tione, interdum ad melius esse majoremque utilitatem, interdum

"verò et ob moralem necessitatem. Hac ergo ratione indigent

aliquo jure, quo dirigantur et rectè ordinentur in hoc genere com-

"municationis et societatis. Et quamvis magna ex parte hoc fiat

66 per rationem naturalem, non tamen sufficientur et immediate

quoad omnia; ideoque specialia jura potuerunt usu earundem

gentium introduci."

(Extract from the Traité des Loix, by Domat, chap. xi. s. 39.)

"Comme tout le genre humain compose une société universelle,

"divisée en diverses nations, qui ont leurs gouvernemens séparez,

"et que les nations ont entr'elles de différentes communications, il a

"été nécessaire qu'il y eût des loix qui réglassent l'ordre de ces

"communications, et pour les princes entr'eux et pour leurs sujets,

ce qui renferme l'usage des ambassades, des négociations, des

“Traités de Paix, et toutes les manières dont les princes et leurs

"sujets entretiennent les commerces et les autres liaisons avec leurs

"voisins. Et dans les guerres même il y a des loix qui règlent les

"manières de déclarer la guerre, qui modèrent les actes d'hostilité,

literally inaccurate, as Ompteda remarks, in citing direct assertion that the science of International ence was, in the abstract, an excellent thing. But ionably, in the passage upon which Grotius relies for this Lion, International Jurisprudence is recognized as a science, acquaintance with it as the accomplishment of a statesman. cero (a), speaking of Pompey, says that he possessed " præstabilem "scientiam in fæderibus, pactionibus, conditionibus populorum, regum, exterarum nationum in universo denique belli jure et "pacis," and it would not be easy to give a juster, better, more complete recognition, or a fuller description of the science of which we are treating. In Sallust, the expression jus gentium is
