I will not ask you to mould your opinion on these points by such writers, nor shall I submit my judgment to that of Vattel.
"Come, none of your dictionary in the pantry there, but show your physiognomy in my presence. What the devil do you think Vattel would say to such a supper as this?" "I think, sir, he would call it a werry good supper, for a ship in a hard gale of wind. That's my honest opinion, Captain Truck, and I never deceive any gentleman in a matter of food. I think, Mr.
This gentleman understands Vattel, and we shall have no trouble with him. Keep the anchor clear Mr. Leach, for 'fair words butter no parsnips. Still, he is a gentleman; and, Saunders, put a bottle of the old Madeira on the cabin table."
He points out that the jurists of the first half of the nineteenth century, with the possible exception of Klüber, were "unanimous in following" Grotius and Vattel, and allowing neutrals to permit belligerents passage as long as they did it impartially. But since the middle of the century a total and violent change in the opinion of authors has operated.
"You will permit us to have an interview with Mr. Sandon?" "Beyond a doubt. I see, sir, you have read Vattel, and understand the rights of neutrals, or of independent nations. As this interview most probably will be interesting, you may desire to have it held in private, and a state-room will be too small for the purpose.
Actual War. Its Effects. Vattel tells us "The end of a just war is to avenge or prevent injury; that is to say, to obtain justice by force, when not obtainable by any other method; to compel an unjust adversary to repair an injury already done, or to give us securities against any wrong with which we are threatened by him.
The last speaker was stopped by a nudge from Captain Truck, who seized an opportunity to whisper, "Make no such distinction between outside and inside, I beg of you, my dear sir. I hold that the ship is, at this identical moment, in the United States of America in a positive sense, as well as by a legal fiction; and I think Vattel will bear me out in it." "Let it pass for that, then.
Mr. Pitt had no claim to be considered as a great authority in the principles of constitutional law. George II., slight as was his political knowledge or wisdom, complained on one occasion of the ignorance of a Secretary of State who had never read Vattel; and in this very debate he even boasted of his ignorance of "law-cases and acts of Parliament."
I will haul up for the highlands, and anchor under them, should it be necessary. We can then give this fellow Vattel in large quantities, for I hardly think he will venture to seize us while we have an anchor fast to good American ground." "How near dare you stand to the shore?" "Within a mile ahead of us; but to enter the Hook, the bar must be crossed a league or two off."
"'They have the right to do what they like, says Helvetius; to 'change their constitution, says Vattel; to 'revolt against injustice, according to the contention of Glafey, Hotman, Mably, and others; and St. Thomas Aquinas authorises them to 'deliver themselves from a tyrant. 'They are even, says Jurieu, 'dispensed from being right."
