Declaration of war, английский
A ceremonial frequently omitted, and esteemed by the greatest authorities rather a proof of magnanimity than a duty. the romans proclaimed it; but except achaia, none of the grecian states did. it would be to the interests of humanity and courtesy were it made indispensable. it has been held (especially in the case of the leopard and chesapeake) that without a declaration of war, no hostile act at the order of an admiral is legal.
Decime, английский
A small copper coin of france, equal to two sous, or one-tenth of a franc.
