Excerpt from A Treatise on the Law of War: Being the First Book of This Quaestiones Juris Publici I have shortened the titles of the several chapters, which in the original are presented in the shape of que-j ries, to' suit the modest title of Questions, which is pre fixed to the whole work. Considering this first part, as justly entitled to be considered a complete and, regular1 treatise on the law of war, I have thought it my duty to present it as such to my readers, and to head its several divisions accordingly.
