When you saw the 1787 edition..did you see and read Chapter XIX?
Can you be more specific..
Yes. I read the entire book. Yes, it clearly defines what a natural-born citizen, or native, is. Emmerich died in 1767, 20 years before this version was translated from the more recent translation in 1775. There are two English translations we do know existed in 1787:
1.The Law of Nations - Luke White (Dublin Edition)
2.The law of nations, or, Principles of the law of nature applied to the conduct and affairs of nations and sovereigns - Messrs. Berry and Rogers (U.S. Edition)
I encourage everyone to visit the copy at the Library of Congress or anywhere else you might find this. Although the Dublin edition is not as precise on its definition, the U.S. edition, located in the Library of Congress, is. If you wish to review the 1787 Dublin edition, you can purchase a copy here:
The Law of Nations - Luke White (Dublin Edition)
I have yet to see the Messrs. Berry and Rogers edition in electronic form. 18 posted on

Chapter XIX...
Who translated the 1787 Edition? The title of the 1787 edition is the same as the 1759/60 English translation.
Back to chapter XIX...
It has the 1758, 1759/60 or the 1797 wording..??
How did you get access to the 1787 Edition...it is not that simple.

“I managed to get a peek at this version from a collector back in 2007”
“I can not take photos of this version because it was read in 2007”
“Natural Born Citizen” is firmly planted in plain english in this edition.”
“Yes. I read the entire book. Yes, it clearly defines what a natural-born citizen, or native, is.”
“I did not read the copy of the one in at the Library of Congress”
Can you explain the “I managed to get a peek in 2007” and “I read the entire book”
No need to discuss the other editions and word definitions we know them. We know Dumas.
In 2007..you peeked at the 1787 edition and it was sold. You have the read the 1787 edition in the Library of Congress.
So...when and where did you read the entire book?
