the balance

While the balance of power was nicely poised Tory Burch Sale among the nations of Europe, and all, as they supposed, vitally interested in preventing the undue aggrandizement of any one, there might have existed some respect for a sort of tacit universal convention or understanding, which professed to regulate international intercourse. But since the chances of war have given to France the empire of Europe by land, and to England the dominion of the world by sea, and these countries are literally striving Tory Burch Handbags which can do the o^er most harm, Tory Burch Flats and .have not left, strictly speaking, any one neutral, nor is there any superior or even mediating power to correct their abuses, of what avail are the usages of states in times of former peace or ordinary wars, or the usages that grew out of a state of things the very reverse of that which prevails ?But admitting that, whatever may be the changes or the crisis, the law of nations must nevertheless be the rule of action between independent communities, let us inquire what this supreme law was or is at best, and whether it can be considered as now in force.It cannot be said any such pervading polity existed before the aera of modern Europe, nor that it is even now acknowledged by any sovereignty out of Europe, except Tory Burch Outlet the United States of America. The amphyctioriic council of the Grecians, and the fecial regulations of the Romans, bear too faint a resemblance to the present extended complexure of tacit agreement, to induce our searching the annals of either of those institutions for its extraction. Henry the great's project •f a confederated republic of all the powers of Europe, to be represented by ambassadors in a general congress, where laws should be enacted with binding force on all in their foreign relations, might have originated a code that would have been generally obligatory, and perhaps beneficial. But this scheme never went into operation; and as it is treated, by those who have considered it since, as utterly visionary, we cannot, nor do I know of any writer who does, refer the origin of the law of nations to that epoch.Some say chivalry introduced, and commerce perfected it. It is fortunately not very material to our purpose to ascertain when, where, or how it originated, or by what progressiveinodificatioifs it attained that degree of excellence and usefulness now attributed to it by certain commentators.
