             ERASTUS C.   BENEDICT, LL.D.



    No one doubts that every nation may adopt its own maritime code. France
    may adopt one: England another; the United States a third; still, the
    convenience of the commercial world, bound together, as it is, by
      mutual relations of trade and intercourse, demands that, in all
        essential things wherein those relations bring them in contact,
        there should be a uniform law founded on natural reason
               and justice. The Lottawanna, 88 U. S.
