Senator Cushman K. Davis died on November 27, 1900, at age sixty-two. At that time he was Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Relations of the United States Senate. The following year his 368 page treatise on international law, revised and annotated by Dr. Peter J. Healy, was published by Keefe-Davidson Law Book Company of St. Paul, Minnesota. Massachusetts Senator Henry Cabot Lodge wrote the Introduction. It is posted here.

It was reviewed in the December 1901 issue of "The Maryland Law Review" and the September 1901 issue of "The Green Bag." They are posted separately on the MLHP.
