Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Great Trial of the Nineteenth Century In the preface to his treatise on International Law, William E. Hall says: Since it has come into existence, it has often been quietly ignored or brutally disregarded. The history of the world from the time of Grotius, the father of International Law, to the present day proves this to be true. Nearly every great nation has violated that law, quietly or brutally. Great Britain has perhaps been more guilty than any other nation. That the United States has been guilty of the same offense within the last two years is shown by the speeches in this book. From about one to three pages of the speeches herein ascribed to Mr. Clay, Gen. Grant, Mr. Lincoln, Mr. Madison, Count Tolstoi, and Bishop Simpson, respectively, are taken almost literally from their published works. And all of the sentiments and opinions ascribed to the twelve speakers are believed to be in harmony with their respective characters, and to correspond with what they have either done, said, or written. The greater part of the book was written six months ago. Its completion and publication have been unavoidably delayed till the present time.
