Rome by her public lands. They were the seed-plot of periodical public dissensions, and bore almost annually a larger crop of political agitations than of economic products. Every school-boy knows the successive phases of this agrarian struggle. In the whole of I taly, as in Rome, two contending parties stood perpetually in presence of each other. On the one side was an aristocratic party contending for class privileges and proprietary dominion ;on the other was a democratic party contending for larger measures of popular power and for larger shares of beneficiary right in the administration of the public domain. Questions of land dominion and of land distribution have formed the ultimate ground of political division and debate among men ever since the human race, in the evolution of society, passed from political organization on the basis of common blood, to political organization on the basis of common territory.

Excerpt from Addresses, Lectures and Other Papers I have very warmly cherished recollections of Dr. Welling. We lived side by side during the time of his residence in Princeton, and I very soon began to know the charm and value of a near personal friendship with one possessed of a most sincere and genial nature, and of emi nent and varied qualifications for his work and influence in the professorship which he so ably filled.

(Pelagic Sealing Juridically Considered According to a Par...)
Pelagic Sealing Juridically Considered According to a Particular Analogy of Municipal Law. In the primeval state of man property is supposed to have begun with the occupation of things for mans personal use. The Roman Law of Occupation was at once very simple and very strict. Wild animals, as being in their natural state res nullius, were held to be convertible into property by occupation.; and this for the sufficient reason that what belonged to nobody could be made to belong to anybody who took it. Not, indeed, that mere taking gave ownership or value, but that it was only by the instrument of occupation, to the ends of possession, that wild animals could be made serviceable, and therefore valuable, to man. Hence, in enunciating the maxim of the Civil Law, res nullius occupanti conceditur, we must emphasize equally each word in the sentence. Li consistency with this maxim, it was held in early Roman Law that the right of occupation which attached to wild animals was a pure ius hoiniuis, belonging to any man wlio captured them, anywhere, for his personal benefit, and not anius doininii resulting from ownership of the soil on which the wild animals were found. The owner of the soil had, indeed, a right to jM-ohibit the entrance of a huntsman on his farm, but he could not claim the wild game which was killed or captured on his premises, even when the killing or capture was effected in violation of his interdict. His remedy was to sue for tresi)ass. Yet as the land-owner, by his interdict, could maintain, defaelo, the exclusive privilege of hunting on his own grounds, the game found on his soil could be placed practically at his exclusive command. !I ncases, therefore, where the game found on land was sparse, casual, and uncertain, it could not be Digest, xli, i, 3, ? i, 2.

James Clarke Welling was born in Trenton, N. J. , the only son of William and Jane (Hill) Welling.
He received his elementary education at the Trenton Academy and in 1844 graduated from the College of New Jersey (Princeton).
After tutoring in Virginia for two years and reading law, he was made associate principal of the New York Collegiate School in 1848. In 1850 he was appointed literary editor of the Daily National Intelligencer in Washington, D. C. Six years later he became associate editor, with actual control of the paper. His learning, legal training, analytical mind, breadth of culture, forceful pen, and wide acquaintance admirably qualified him for the direction of this journal, which was a leading organ of opinion on the eve of the Civil War and continued as such during most of the conflict itself. His articles on constitutional law in its relation to current difficulties stamped the Intelligencer as a conservative Unionist organ. He supported the Bell-Everett ticket in 1860. His editorials on the Trent affair and the Monroe Doctrine attracted wide attention. He favored the abolition of slavery but questioned the validity of the Emancipation Proclamation, holding that it should be legalized by constitutional amendment. He joined his friend, Edward Bates, in declaring trials by military commissions to be irregular, a stand later taken by the Supreme Court. His support of McClellan for the presidency in 1864 proved to be a political blunder for both himself and the Intelligencer. He resigned in 1865, went to Europe, and then served for a time as clerk of the federal court of claims. He became president of St. John's College, Annapolis, Md. , in 1867. After three years at St. John's, he was made professor of rhetoric and English literature at the College of New Jersey. He resigned to accept the presidency in 1871 of Columbian College, Washington, D. C. , now George Washington University. A close friendship with W. W. Corcoran, the institution's chief benefactor, developed. Their aim was to broaden the scope of the institution's activities so as to make Washington the national educational center. By congressional act of March 3, 1873, the college was incorporated as Columbian University, and, in the following year, it was moved from the suburbs to the heart of the city. Its law and medical faculties were enlarged, and scientific and dental schools, as well as a school of graduate studies, were opened. A movement to amalgamate the then defunct University of Chicago with Columbian and to obtain financial support from John D. Rockefeller did not materialize. In addition to his executive duties, he taught the philosophy of history and international law. His interests were multifarious. He was president of the Cosmos Club in Washington in 1880, of the board of trustees of the Corcoran Art Gallery from 1881 to his death, of the Washington Philosophical Society in 1884, and the Anthropological Society of Washington in 1891-1892. He was a regent of the Smithsonian Institution from 1884 to his death and chairman of the executive committee during the last eight years of his life. Some of his writings of this period were collected in Addresses, Lectures, and Other Papers, published after his death (1903). In the spring of 1894 he resigned the presidency of Columbian to be effective as of the following October, but he died in Hartford, Connecticut, in September.

In 1850 he was married to Genevieve H. Garnett, the daughter of Henry T. Garnett of Westmoreland County, Va. She died two years later, leaving a daughter. His second wife was Clementine Louise Dixon, to whom he was married in 1882. They had two children.
