Book excerpt: Excerpt from William Jay, and the Constitutional Movement for the Abolition of Slavery Judge Jay's little book on War and Peace, with a plan of stipulation by treaty for international arbi tration which subsequently led to his becoming the president of the American Peace Society, and which before its publication attracted the attention of that sturdy advocate for peace, Joseph Sturge, during his visit at Bedford, seems entitled to special notice as one whose scheme is still agitated in the governmental and national councils of Europe.
