1 It is rather hard to apply the author’s definition of “convoy” here. In this article (XI) it means a vessel; in the definition clause (Art. 1 (q)) it means a “relationship.” As the au thor has aimed at being mathematically exact, this is strange.

2 Conventions providing for such certificates were made between Sweden and Great Britain in 1661 and 1664—but by a strained interpretation Great Britain contrived to nullify their effect.

3 See also Britain and Sea Law (G. Bell, in London, 1911).

4 The author also cites Pitt Cobbett (who is styled “P. Corbett”). Pitt Cobbett, however, does not confine the term “search” to exclude the search of and for papers. The reviewer may be forgiven for referring the reader to an article on “Scottish Prize Cases and Modern Heresies,” in the Law Quarterly Review for August, 1927.
