Excerpt from Elements of Military Art and Science: Or, Course of Instruction in Strategy, Fortification, Tactics of Battles, &E; Embracing the Duties of Staff, Infantry, Cavalry, Artillery, and Engineers The following pages were hastily thrown together in the form of lectures, and delivered, during the past winter, before the Lowell Institute of Boston. They were written without the slightest intention of ever publishing them; but several officers of militia, who heard them delivered, or afterwards read them in manuscript, desire their publication, on the ground of their being useful to a class of officers now likely to be called into military service. It is with this view alone that they are placed in the hands of the printer. No pretension is made to originality in any part of the work; the sole object having been to embody, in a small compass, well established military principles, and to illustrate these by reference to the events of past history, and the opinions and practice of the best generals. Small portions of two or three of the following chapters have already appeared, in articles furnished by the author to the New York and Democratic Reviews, and in a "Report on the Means of National Defence," published by order of Congress.

This classic work of international law provides readers with an in-depth understanding of the rules and principles that govern relations between states. It covers everything from the rights and duties of nations during times of peace to the laws of war and the treatment of prisoners of war. The book also includes a detailed discussion of the principles of maritime law and the laws governing diplomacy.

The book serves as a thorough exploration of international law principles governing state interactions during peace and war, authored by notable jurist Henry Wager Halleck. It is structured into two parts: the first outlines foundational concepts such as state sovereignty and treaties, while the second applies these principles to real-world scenarios, including diplomatic relations and the laws of war. This seminal work remains a vital resource for scholars and policymakers, offering insights into the complexities of international relations.
