"A fair amount of general reading was a preliminary requirement for writing this book, which is an outline of the law of the sea, from the earliest known times, and as we have understood it in the western world during the Christian era. No attempt has been made to trace maritime law back to prehistoric times or to include the sea law of oriental empires, supposing they had such a thing."--Preface.
