الصفحة 40 - The comity thus extended to other nations is no impeachment of sovereignty. It is the voluntary act of the nation by which it is offered ; and is inadmissible when contrary to its policy, or prejudicial to its interests. But it contributes so largely to promote justice between individuals, and to produce a friendly intercourse between the sovereignties to which they belong ; that courts of justice have continually acted upon it, as a part of the voluntary law of nations.
الصفحة 32 - A treaty is primarily a compact between independent nations. It depends for the enforcement of its provisions on the interest / and the honor of the governments which are parties to it. If ' these fail, its infraction becomes the subject of international negotiations and reclamations, so far as the injured party chooses to seek redress, which may in the end be enforced by actual war.
