Reply to an 'american's [L. Cass's] Examination' of the 'right of Search', by an Englishman [Sir W.G. Ouseley.] (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781146536097)

This book, "Reply to an 'american's [L. Cass's] Examination' of the 'right of Search', by an Englishman [Sir W.G. Ouseley, ]", is a historical response to a treatise by Lewis Cass regarding the controversial maritime practice known as the "right of search." This right, asserted by Great Britain, allowed its naval vessels to stop and inspect ships of other nations suspected of engaging in the slave trade. Cass, an American diplomat and politician, challenged the legality and implications of this practice.

Sir William Gore Ouseley, the "Englishman" in question, provides a detailed rebuttal to Cass's arguments, offering a British perspective on the necessity and justification for the right of search. The book delves into the complexities of international law, maritime rights, and the delicate balance of power between nations in the 19th century. It remains a valuable historical document for understanding the tensions surrounding maritime sovereignty and the efforts to suppress the transatlantic slave trade.
