Note 64 — Chapter VI · On the Acquisition of Territory and Property By Right of Conquest.
A. C. (Archibald Colin) Campbell translation
Our author here speaks of things taken in battle. For upon the surrender of towns, in almost all articles of capitulation it is stipulated, that the General and other superior officers, and the officers of regiments shall preserve their swords and their private baggage, and the noncommissioned officers and soldiers shall preserve their knapsacks.
