Elements of
International Law, first published in 1836, is a book on international law by
Henry Wheaton which has long been influential. This book was translated into
many languages and became a standard work. On his own merits Wheaton is clearly

public life, and his work further resembles that of Grotius in that it cannot be
classified under the conventional labels of any doctrinal system.
