Nussbaum calls this the "earliest systematic treatise on international law by an author of the Anglo-American group" and notes that "for the first time English and American materials were included on a large scale in the systematic discussion of international law." xi Wheaton deals with such issues as the inclusion of non-European, non-Christian states in the international legal community and humanitarian intervention, which he supports. Wheaton is the first writer to use the term international law rather than law of nations.
