Vattel, Emer de. (1714-1767)
The Law of Nations: or, Principles of the Law of Nature. London: printed for J. Newbery ... [and 8 others], 1759-1760.
This is an English translation of the French Le Droit des Gens: ou, Principes de la Loi Naturelle, which first appeared two years earlier. Vattel's intention was to bring Wolff's ideas to a wider audience; however, some critics believe Vattel's own ideas on international law are more sophisticated than Wolff's. Nussbaum, for example, praises Vattel's discussion of the law of neutrality as superior, and adds that,"Vattel's attitude is more humanitarian, more cosmopolitan, and ... even democratic."x
