Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Before and After the Treaty of Washington, the American Civil War and the War in the Transvaal: An Address Delivered Before the New York Historical Society on Its Ninety-Seventh Anniversary, Tuesday, November 19, 1901
Negotiated during the spring of 1871, and signed on the 8th of May 'of that year, the Treaty of Washington not only put to rest questions of differ ence of long standing, big with danger, between the two leading maritime nations of the world, but it incorporated new principles ofthe first importance into the body of established International Law. The degree, moreover, to which that treaty has in ?uenced, and is now in?uencing, the course of hu man affairs and historical evolution in both hemi spheres is, I think, little appreciated. To that subject I propose this evening to address myself.
