| Summary | "Prize Money" by Philip Quincy Wright is a scholarly thesis written in the early 20th century. The work explores the principles and laws concerning the distribution of prize money from captured assets during wartime, focusing primarily on maritime captures throughout various historical contexts. The author examines the evolution of these laws from ancient civilizations through the Middle Ages to more contemporary legal frameworks used by countries, particularly Great Britain. The opening of "Prize Money" introduces the reader to the significance of prize money laws in both historical and contemporary contexts, emphasizing their role in international law and maritime warfare. It outlines the scope of the thesis, showcasing its intent to analyze the character of different countries' prize money laws over time, including their connection to municipal and international regulations. The text begins with reflections on ancient Greek practices regarding prize distribution in warfare, setting a foundation for how these legal principles have evolved and influenced modern interpretations of prize capture and restitution at sea.
