Abstract
THE second edition of this book differs but little from the first edition of 1935. It has not been extended beyond the limits then planned and although it has been thoroughly revised and the references to the literature brought up to date, new matter has been incorporated chiefly in the chapters on the drafting of the Covenant, and the history of the League of Nations, the latter merely bringing the account of the Abyssinian dispute up to 1936. None the less the book remains an invaluable guide to the problems involved in the re-establishment of the rule of law between nations.
The League of Nations and the Rule of Law, 1918–1935
