This volume consists of the appendices to the Case presented on the Part of the Government of Her Britannic Majesty. [Fur Seal Arbitration, Volume IV] Great Britain's Case. Fur seals were an important industry in the late nineteenth century. The United States claimed exclusive rights to the sealing industry in the Bering Sea. The United Kingdom disputed this claim and the matter was eventually sent to international arbitration. The award, which was signed and published on 15 August 1893, was in favor of Great Britain on all points. The question of damages, which had been reserved, was ultimately settled by a mixed commission appointed by the two powers in February 1896, the total amount awarded to the British sealers being $473,151.26 - in excess of $10 million in present-day inflation-adjusted dollars.Shelfware, signs of old worm damage to spine cover, minor spotting.
