‎First French translation of Cornelius van Bynkershoek’s work “De foro legatorum”, first published in 1721, on state jurisdiction over diplomats in civil and criminal matters. Cornelius van Bynkershoek (1673-1743), Dutch jurist and legal theorist. Van Bynkershoek made significant contributions to international law. He served as president of the Supreme Court of the Dutch Republic, the Hoge Raad van Holland en Zeeland, from 1724 to 1743. His most notable contribution was in the development of the Law of the Sea. Expanding upon Hugo Grotius' concept of coastal state rights, Bynkershoek proposed that a state's control over adjacent waters should correspond to the range of its weapons, famously stating, ""terrae potestas finitur ubi finitur armorum vis.""‎

‎Very good copy in its contemporary binding (slighlty rubbed, foxing) coming from Caesar Augusts Rodney' library (contemporary signature of C.A. Rodney on title page, and 4 autograph lines written by "C.A.Rodney A.G." to "William Lee"). Caesar Augustus Rodney (1772 – 1824) was an American lawyer and politician from Wilmington, Delaware.Member of the Democratic-Republican Party, he served in the Delaware General Assembly, as well as a U.S. Representative and Senator, and became U.S. Attorney General (A.G.) on January 20, 1807, named by President Thomas Jefferson. Unhappy about being passed over for a U.S. Supreme Court appointment, he resigned on December 1811. During the War of 1812, he was captain of a rifle corps which became the Delaware 1st Artillery then served at Fort Union in Wilmington, on the Canadian frontier, and assisted in the defense of Baltimore in 1814. He was the nephew of Caesar Rodney who was a signer of the Declaration of Independence. This title, translated by Du Ponceau (1760-1844), is important for its insights into the American reception of the civil law in the early 1800s.‎
