Aprašymas

Ross was an important Danish jurist who wrote a series of influential treatises that combined legal realism, Continental jurisprudence and Scandinavian legal concepts. Although its title suggests a basic introductory work, A Textbook of International Law is actually a sophisticated presentation of his international law of jurisprudence. Reprint of the sole edition, never before reprinted.

"It is a pleasant task to welcome a treatise on international law with such a refreshingly new approach to the subject. (...) [It presents] the cardinal doctrines of international law according to a scheme which is at once novel and stimulating to the English reader." --R.Y. Jennings, Journal of Comparative Legislation & International Law, 3rd. Series, 30 (1948) 122
