FOOTNOTES: [A] For the freedom of the seas and the relation of Grotius to the doctrine, see Ernest Nys’s _Les Origines du Droit International_ (1894), pp. 379-387, and the same author’s _Etudes de Droit International et de Droit Politique_, 2^e série (1901), _Une Bataille de Livres_, pp. 260-272. For an account in English see Walker’s _History of the Law of Nations_, Vol. I (1899), pp. 278-283. For an interesting sketch of the illustrious author of the _Mare Liberum_, see Motley’s _The Life and Death of John of Barneveld_, Vol. II, Chap. XXII; for an analysis of Grotius’ views on the law of nations, see Hallam’s _Introduction to the Literature of Europe_ (4th edition), Vol. II, Part III, Chap. IV, Sec. III; for an account of Grotius as a humanist, see Sandys’ _History of Classical Scholarship_ (1908), Vol. II, pp. 315-319. [B] _Hugonis Grotii De Jure Praedae_, edited, with an introduction, by H. G. Hamaker, and published at The Hague in 1868 by Martinus Nijhoff. [C] In support of the view that Grotius appeared as counsel in cases arising out of captures made by vessels in the service of the Dutch East India Company, and that the treatise, _De Jure Praedae_, is a legal brief, see R. Fruin’s _Een Onuitgegeven Werk van Hugo De Groot_ in _Verspreide Geschriften_, Vol. III, pp. 367-445. The following passages are quoted from this remarkable essay: “While busy with the sale of the goods [of the captured merchantman _Catherine_, which had been unloaded in the Amsterdam arsenal], the process of adjudicating the booty before the admiralty court was conducted in the usual forms. Claimants: Advocate General of Holland, the Board of eight Aldermen, and Admiral Heemskerck; ... on Thursday, September 9, 1604, final sentence was rendered, and ‘the merchantman together with the goods taken from it were declared forfeited and confiscated’” (pp. 389-390).
