Excerpt from The United States and the Northeastern Fisheries

This paper was prepared and presented to the Faculty of the University of Minnesota as part of the work of a candidate for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy.

I am indebted to the late Prof. John Norton Pomeroy for the greater part of the translations from French writers on international law, and to the officials of the Department of State at Washington for their courtesy in allowing me access to the library and archives of that Department.
