About the author
George Grafton Wilson (1863–1951) was an American scholar of international law who taught for many years at Harvard University. Our records include his representative work, International Law. Public information about him is limited, and the specific editions and detailed contents of the book cannot be confirmed, but given its title and the author's standing it appears to be a general treatise in the field. Wilson's research covered international law and the law of the sea, with attention to the legal rules governing relations between states and the definition of maritime rights. His writing is characterized by careful academic exposition and was intended for teaching and research. As an American professor of international law in the first half of the twentieth century, his works reflect the concerns of the field at the time—war and peace, the division of maritime zones—and have held some influence among specialist readers.
