""A Treaty of Arbitration or a Code of International Law, The Basis of Peace: An Address"" is a book written by James Willis Patterson in 1891. The book discusses the importance of having a treaty of arbitration or a code of international law in order to maintain peace among nations. Patterson argues that the current system of resolving disputes through war is costly and destructive, and that a more peaceful approach is necessary. He proposes the creation of an international court to settle disputes between nations, and outlines the principles that should guide its decisions. The book is a call to action for world leaders to come together and create a more peaceful world through the establishment of a fair and just system of international law.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
