More from Thomas Erskine Holland
The progress of civilisation should have the effect of alleviating as much as possible the calamities of war.
War is an element in the order of the world ordained by God.
It is impossible for the soldier who endures sufferings, hardships, fatigues, who meets danger, to take only 'in proportion to the resources of the country.' He must take whatever is needful for his existence.
Men of nations readily disunited and opposed--Germans and French, English and Russians, Spaniards and Dutchmen, Italians and Austrians--are, as a rule, all of one mind as to the principles of international law.
