The Vesting of Sovereignty in a League of Nations |
28 Yale Law Journal 209 (January, 1919) |

Gradually the operation of that will becomes in some measure limited. Several tribes come to constitute a nation. The nation, as civilization advances,... |

The Principles of Muhammadan Jurisprudence According to the Hanafi, Malavi, Shafi'i and Hanbali Schools |
29 Harvard Law Review 348 (January, 1916) |

The Scope and Purpose of Sociological Jurisprudence |
25 Harvard Law Review 140 (December, 1911) |
