Foreign History. If, then, certain chapters should seem to suggest the more fitting title of a History of England with special relation to its foreign policy, ' it cannot be helped. But the method has its advantages. To quote treaties, protocols, and despatches except by way of the briefest refer ence, to discuss technical rules of the law and comity of nations, would be to invade the frontiers of International Law and Diplomatics. By the general reader the march of Foreign Policy will be more clearly discerned in the light of the history which he knows than in the darkness of the sciences of which he is ignorant.
