Law of nations, английский
It was originally merely the necessary law of nature applied to nations, as in the instance of receiving distressed ships with humanity. by various conventional compacts, the law of nations became positive; thus flags of truce are respected, and prisoners are not put to death. one independent state is declared incompetent to prescribe to another, so long as that state is innoxious to its neighbours. the law of nations consists of those principles and regulations, founded in reason and general convenience, by which the mutual intercourse between independent states is everywhere conducted.
Laver, английский
An edible sea-weed—the ulva lactuca, anciently lhavan. from this a food is made, called laver-bread, on the shores of s. wales.
