Lastly,  it  is  good  faith  which  above  all  things  International  Law
requires,  and  where  that  is  apparent  or  demonstrable,  the  Peace  of  the
world  ought  never  to  be  broken,  in  the  matter  of  the  construction  of  a
Treaty,  upon  any  inferior  consideration.

CONCLUSION.  507

Those  readers  who  will  take  the  trouble  of  comparing  the  scheme  of
the  work,  as  sketched  out  in  the  early  chapters  of  the  First  Yolame,  with
the  distribution  of  the  subject  in  that  and  the  following  volumes,  will  see
that  the  original  plan  has  been  faithfully  adhered  to,  and  the  outline,
howsoever,  filled  up.
