Note 48 — Chapter XVI · The Interpretation of Treaties.
A. C. (Archibald Colin) Campbell translation
The case of a promise made on the supposition of a posthumous child's dying, instanced by our author in this place, bears so near a resemblance to that of a father's bequeathing his property to another, believing his son to be dead, that it is omitted in this chapter having been already given under the head of erroneous promises in the xi. chapter and 6th section of this book.—(Translator.)
