Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Guide to Diplomatic Practice, Vol. 1
Appendix III has been enlarged by a selection from the more important works relating to the history of the Great War which have been published during the last few years.
The gratitude of the author is due to Sir Adolphus Ward for the corrections and suggestions contained in his notice of the first edition which appeared in the issue of the English Historical Review for July, 1917.
To the Counsels to Diplomatists offered in Chapter IX he would desire to add that the task of a diplomatic agent is to reconcile the interests of his own nation with those of others, and to preserve the honour of his own unblemished and devoid of selfish aims, in short, to cultivate what has been so well described as the international mind.
