MIR TAYLoR's GREAT WORK ON
 INTERNATIONAL LAW.

The great work on The origin ana Growth of the English Constitution" by Hon. Hannis Taylor of Mobile, placed him in the front rank of Constitutional and International law writers. Its ex- cellence was at once recognized at home and abroad and secured for him distin- guished honors from many great univer- sities. In view of his eminent fitness for the work that part of the public interested in the great subject will hail with de- light his book on 'International Public Law" 1t is just from the press of callaghan & Co.,, of Chicago and is a volume of 900 pages. There is not a branch of international law that he does not treat in a luminous manner. In his preface which is of itself a compre- hensive outline he gives credit to those from whom he has derived assistance in the preparation of the great work and especially mentioned are Peter J. Hamil- ton of the Mobile bar and Rev. W. J. Tyrrell President of Spring Hill College, Mobile. The work is dedicated by MT, Taylor to his warm personal frierd, Colonel E. l.. Russell of Mobile. /
 The Advertiser presents comments of some of the distinguished lawysfs of the country on this great work: (
 Hon. William Wirt Howe of the New Orleans bar. lately president of the American Bar Association, writes:
 l am reading your work on lnterna- tionat Public Law with great interest, and ] am sure with much edification. Vnnr d, nf sM of treatment is very interesting and in- structivc. To apply the language of Dr. Stubbs fn the preface to his work on the English constithtion. your treatise thus presen-s regularly developed series of causes and Consequences, and abounds in examples o1 that continuity of life, the realization ,6r which is necessary to give the readeT personal hold on the past ana a right judgment of the present. In my Opinion your book will be a dis tincr and important addition to the literature of the subject.
 Professor Henry Rogers of Yale Uni yersity says that:
 All students ot international law will welcome MT. Taylors notable contribu- tion to the literature of the subject. He has written a valuable book, and in q most interesting manner. His diplomatic experience qualified him to write the work, which has been much needed.
 John G. Johnson, Esq, who stands at the head of the bar of Philadelphia, writes of Mir. Taylor's work as an "ex- traordinary valuable treatise on Inter- national Public Law. You certainly by this book fully discharged your duty to your profession"
 The New York Sun says, "the treatise on International Public Law, which Mir Hannis Taylor has just published through Callaghan x Co. of Chicago we think will fill it's field with considerable success; 1t is exhaustive, so far as the limits of it's size permit; it is brought down to a very recent date, and 1t dis cusses with some fullness matters Of very late development of the subject of which it treats =" He divides his work into six parts. whereof the first treats of ancient and mediaeval state systems; this part is really joined to the second division, which discusses the sources and foundations of modern international law. These two parts make a much fuller hls- tory of this law than is afforded by the usual text book, and increase the inn portance of MT. Taylor's work.
 The Advertiser feels proud of the fact that one of Alabama's citizens contributes so much of profound knowledge for the benefit of, the world at large. This book is destined to rank among the great text and authority books of the world.
