The Future of International Law by Lassa Oppenheim
Considered the most influential work on international law, most views here-mentioned are evolved from German methodologies and considered within the realm of positivism. Topics covered include: The organisation of society and states; International Legislation; International administration of justice; and, The science of international law.
It should be noted that views expressed depict the order of that time, this work being first published in 1911 but final publication was withheld until around the early 1920s after the war. Professor Oppenheim also contributed to other works of such a nature during this period...

A note the entries for this volume are somewhat misleading in the sense that it does not indicate that the reprint is taken from the English edition authored in 1914 but withheld from publication until 1921 after the ratification of the Treaty of Versallies, or the earlier German edition published in 1911 prior to the outbreak of the First World War.
The volume is actually a reprinting of the later English edition and not the earlier German one this is important because the two texts demonstrate a measurable evolution in the thought and views expressed by Professsor Oppenheim a fact highlighted by James Brown Scott in his prefatory remarks.
