The book explores the contentious issue of whether the British had the right to search American vessels that were suspected of being involved in the African slave trade. Wheaton argues that the British claim to such a right was invalid and violated American sovereignty. He examines the historical context of the issue and the legal principles involved, including the right of free navigation and the principles of international law. The book is a scholarly work that draws on a range of sources, including legal texts, diplomatic correspondence, and historical records. It provides a detailed analysis of the arguments put forward by both sides and offers a nuanced perspective on the issue. Overall, Enquiry Into The Validity Of The British Claim To A Right Of Visitation And Search Of American Vessels Suspected To Be Engaged In The African Slave Trade is an important work of legal scholarship that sheds light on an important historical issue. It remains relevant today as a reminder of the complex legal and ethical issues involved in the fight against human trafficking and the slave trade.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
