off REVERSAL ,
international law .
First .
A declaration by which a sovereign promises that he will observe a certain order ,
or certain conditions ,
which have been once established ,
notwithstanding any changes that may happen to cause a deviation therefrom ;
as ,
for example ,
when the French court ,
consented for the first time ,
in 1745 ,
to grant to Elizabeth ,
the Czarina of Russia ,
the title of empress ,
exacted as a reversal ,
a declaration purporting that the assumption of the title of an imperial government ,
by Russia ,
should not derogate from the rank which France had held towards her .
Secondly .
Those letters are also termed reversals ,
Litterae Reversales ,
by which a sovereign declares that ,
by a particular act of his ,
he does not mean to prejudice a third power .
Of this we have an example in history :
formerly ,
the emperor of Germany ,
whose coronation ,
according to the golden ball ,
ought to have been solemnized at Aix -
la -
Chapelle ,
gave to that city when he was crowned elsewhere ,
reversals ,
by which he declared that such coronation took place without prejudice to its rights ,
and without drawing any consequences therefrom for the future .
