Book Description

Excerpt from Researches, Historical and Critical, in Maritime International Law, Vol. 2 In this review of the works of previous writers on Maritime international law, Dr. Holst does not show much acuteness or extent of observation; and his views appear to be rather those Of a merchant, bent on the accumulation of wealth by means of neutral commerce, than those of an impartial and enlightened lawyer, giving equal consideration to the rights and interests of all nations indiscriminately. In the second section of this work, entitled, Geschieht liche Darstellung des altern und des neuern Seerechts, Historical description of the older and of the more recent maritime law, Dr. Holst, if he does not mis represent, at least does not state fully and correctly, the historical facts, and thereby leads others into error, and affords pretexts for propagating erroneous opinions.
