PARTICULAR SYLLABUS.

TITLE IX.

'Maritime Law, and the principles of which it is constituted, are not composed of fanciful opinions, and doubtful systems. This law rests on the general basis of the law of nature and nations, on the positive regulations of the conventional law of Europe, and on those usages established among nations by necessity, the utility of which has been proved by long experience, and on which time has impressed a venerable character that commands our respect. In this manner, many rules that derive the force of legal authority from the tacit consent of nations, have been insensibly established. It is this tacit consent, that gives validity, and binding force to the European law of nations.'-AZUNI

"The Maritime Law is not the law of a particular country, but the general law of nations.'-LD. MANSFIELD.
