  Henry Wheaton - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Henry Wheaton (November 27, 1785 - March 11, 1848), American lawyer and diplomat, was born at Providence, Rhode Island.
Wheaton’s general theory is that international law consists of "those rules of conduct which reason deduces, as consonant to justice, from the nature of ‘the society existing among independent nations, with such definitions and modifications as may be established by general Consent."
In 1846 Wheaton was requested to resign by the new president, Polk, who needed his place for another appointment.

Henry and his colleagues in the young evangelical movement wanted to establish the intellectual and moral credibility of orthodox Christianity in the modern world.
Henry assembled a corps of young evangelical journalists and world-class scholars to write for the magazine, and used his editorial column to engage the cutting-edge issues of the day.
Thus, the evangelical abdication of biblical authority was, to Henry, an abdication of evangelical integrity.

 Lydia Liu, "Legislating the Universal"
Henry Wheaton's Elements of International Law was the first book of international law to be rendered into Chinese and published in 1864 under the official auspices of Prince Gong and his newly established foreign affairs office called the Zongli yamen in Beijing.
Wheaton's Elements of International Law was endorsed for being "more modern and equally authoritative" but there is yet another reason not quite spelled out; that is, the author of the book was an American lawyer and diplomat who made no pretense of hiding the national interest of the United States.
Wheaton's book, besides the advantage of bringing the science down to a very recent day, is generally recognized as a full and impartial digest, and as such has found its way into all the cabinets of Europe.

 WHEATON v. PETERS, 33 U.S. 591 (1834) -- US Supreme Court Cases from Justia & Oyez
Mr Wheaton had not parted with his property in them; and by the third section of the act of 1790, it is required that the title shall be deposited, and the record made in 'the clerk's office of the district court where the author shall reside.'
Henry C. Carey, the clerk of his father in 1816, states that they were in the habit of advertising, and from the course of business he does not doubt it was advertised, but he has no recollection of it.
Mr Wheaton undertook the preparation and publication of the reports of the decisions of the court, under the appointment of the court.

 The Supreme Court Historical Society
Wheaton and Peters were to be the instruments of change; Story, their constant supporter and sometime collaborator.
Wheaton's scholarly fame, like Story's rests in substantial part on works dating from the middle and later years of his career, particularly Elements of International Law (1836).[127] Also like Story, however, Wheaton displayed his literary and scholarly talents at an early date.
Fortunately for Wheaton, the publication of the Reports for the 1816 Term prior to the commencement of the 1817 Term answered all doubts regarding the wisdom of the Court in appointing a new Reporter.

 Inventing Evangelicalism | Christianity Today | A Magazine of Evangelical Conviction
As Henry described all this in his high, wispy voice, suddenly I was astonished to see this lanky preacher-theologian leave the pulpit and begin to walk back and forth across the platform, slightly jumping as he imitated a grasshopper dragging itself through a field.
Henry also wrote about the importance of prayer and other disciplines of the spiritual life, but he rejected outright the kind of quietism and interiorized piety that left some Christians disengaged from the world and its pressing needs.
While Henry himself did not extend the project begun in God, Revelation, and Authority into more recent theological debates, it would be a mistake to dismiss his achievement as a relic from the past.

Carl Henry, who died in his sleep Dec. 7, devoted his long and illustrious career as a theologian to building and defending the "intellectual struts" of evangelical theology.
Henry's first major book, "The Uneasy Conscience of Modern Fundamentalism," was a lament of fundamentalism's failure and a proposal for evangelical recovery.
In God, Revelation and Authority, Henry presented a magisterial defense of Christian truth against the challenges of liberal theology, modern secularism and contemporary philosophy.
