Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: VAN-VIR
VATTEL, EMERIC (EMER) DE (1714-1767) Swiss jurist, the son of a
Protestant
  minister, was born at Couvet, in the principality of Neuchatel, on the 25th of April 1714. He studied at Basel and Geneva. During his early years his favourite pursuit was philosophy; and, having carefully examined the works of G. W. Leibnitz and C. Wolff, he published in 1741 a defence of Leibnitz's
system
  against J. P. de Crousaz. In the same year
Vattel
 , who was born a subject of the king of Prussia, repaired to Berlin in the
hope
  of obtaining some public employment from Frederick IT., but was disappointed in his expectation. Two years later he proceeded to Dresden, where he experienced a very favourable reception from
Count
  &U hl, the minister of Saxony. In 1746 he obtained from the elector,
Augustus
  III., the title of councillor of embassy, accompanied with a pension, and was sent to Bern in the capacity of the elector's minister. His diplomatic functions did not occupy his whole time, and much of his leisure was devoted to literature and jurisprudence. Among other works he published Loisirs philosophiques (1747) and Melanges de litterature, de morale, et de politique (1757). But his reputation chiefly rests on his Droit des gens, ou Frincipes de la loi naturelle appliques a la conduite et aux afaires des nations et des souverains (Neuchatel, 1758). During the same year he was recalled from Switzerland, to be employed in the cabinet of Dresden, and was soon afterwards honoured with, the title of privy councillor. His labours now became so intense as to exhaust his strength, and his health broke down. After a period of rest he returned to Dresden in 1766; but his renewed exertions soon produced a relapse, and he made another excursion to Neuchatel, where he died on the 28th of December 1767. His last
work
  was entitled Questions de droll naturel; ou Observations sur le trite du droll de la nature, par
Wolf
  (Bern, 1762).
Vattel
 's Droit des gens, which is founded on the works of Wolff, had in its day a
great
  success, in truth, greater than it deserved. His
principal
  and only merit consists in his having rendered the ideas of that author accessible to the political and diplomatic world. The Droit des gens passed through many editions, and was translated into various languages (English in 176o).
