In introducing M. Barbusse's most important book to a public already familiar with "Under Fire," it seems well to point out the relation of the author's philosophy to his own time, and the kinship of his art to that of certain other contemporary French and English novelists. "L'Enfer" has been more widely read and discussed in France than any other realistic study since the days of Zola. The French sales of the volume, in 1917 alone, exceeded a hundred thousand copies, a popularity all the more remarkable from the fact that its appeal is based as much on its philosophical substance as on the story which it tells. Although M. Barbusse is one of the most distinguished contemporary French writers of short stories, he has found in the novel form the most fitting literary medium for the expression of his philosophy, and it is to realism rather than romanticism that he turns for the exposition of his special imaginative point of view.

Three volumes. xxiv (v-xxiv new introduction), xxxv, 368; [iv], 352; [vi], 420 pp. With a new introduction The Campbell Translation of Hugo Grotius (1814) by William E. Butler, John Edward Fowler Distinguished Professor of Law, Pennsylvania State University. First published at Paris in Latin (1625), The Rights of War and Peace laid the foundations of the modern system of public international law. Grotius addresses situations in which war is a legitimate instrument of law enforcement and outlines principles for the lawful use of armed force. Based on a Christian understanding of natural law, Grotius advanced the novel argument that his system would still be valid even if a divine basis were lacking. He pointed to the future by moving international law in a secular direction. This fourth (or fifth) English translation (1814) is by Archibald Colin Campbell (1763-1842). The first English translation, by C. Barksdale, was published in 1654 and reissued the following year. The second, by W. Evats, was published in 1682. The 1715 edition was translated and edited by John Morrice (1685 1740) with the assistance of Edward Littlehales (1690 1724) and John Spavan (1685 1718), and reissued with the Notes of Jean Barbeyrac in 1738Based on a Christian understanding of natural law, Grotius advanced the novel argument that his system would still be valid even if a divine basis were lacking.
