Excerpt from The Cambridge History of British Foreign Policy, 1783-1919, Vol. 2 Besides those charged with the responsibilities or engaged in the work of the Cambridge University Press - which has recently suffered a very' heavy loss in the death of Mr A. R. Waller, for eleven years Secretary of the Syndicate - we have to thank more friends than can be enumerated here for their aid in the production of the present volume. Use has again been made of the generous loan of the Wallace Papers, already acknowledged in the Preface to our first volume. We have also to thank the relations of the late Sir Andrew Buchanan, G.C.B., and more especially Mr Henry Mellish of Hadsock Priory, Worksop, for allowing us to peruse two volumes of Sir Andrew's private correspondence in the years 1863-4, when he was our Ambassador at Berlin - one of them consisting of letters from his predecessor Lord Bloomfield, then at Vienna, and the other of miscellaneous correspondence. The former, in particular, is full of interest. They have, also, favoured us with the loan of Sir Andrew's letters concerning the Russian repudiation in 1870 of the Black Sea obligations of the Treaty of March 30th, 1856, privately printed for the use of the Foreign Office. Through Mr G. M. Trevelyan's kind intervention, access has been granted us by the present Earl Grey to the Howick Papers, throwing light on the period 1830-4, dealt with in Mr Trevelyan's Lord Grey of the Reform Bill. Among leading authorities on the subject of this work who have continued to interest themselves in its progress, we desire again to express our obligations to the Right Hon. Lord Sanderson, G.C.B., to the Right Hon. Sir Ernest Satow, G.C.M.G., whose most valuable Diplomatic Practice has, we are glad to say, already reached a second edition, to Professor Sir C. H. Firth, F.B.A., and other friends. No continued aid or encouragement would have been more valued by us than that of the late Sir George Prothero, in whom the study of History' in this country' has lost one of its chief guides and controllers. We have, as before, to thank Miss A. D. Greenwood for undertaking the complicated task of compiling the Index to this Volume, and Miss M. Pate for her unwearying assistance in preparing it for publication. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Cambridge History of British Foreign Policy, 1783-1919, Vol. 1 In offering to our readers the First Volume of The Cambridge History of British Foreign Policy, from the beginning of Pitt's first Administration (1783) to the Peace of Versailles (1919), we have little to add to the announcement put forth by our University Press less than two years and a half ago. The work was designed as a connected narrative of the subject and a consecutive account of its bearing on the political history of this country and empire, and on that of the world at large. As such, it is intended to combine with a strict adherence to historical truth, wherever ascertainable, a national point of view - in other words, an avowed regard for the interests, and above all for the honour, of Great Britain; and the list of contributors to it has been confined to historical scholars who are British subjects by birth. Our work has accordingly not shrunk, and will not shrink as it progresses, from seeking to vindicate for British Foreign Policy that claim to consistency which in certain respects has been denied to it by some of its censors, and in others allowed to it only in the way of sarcasm. Its relations to political aims or ideals not confined to a single nation, or to particular groups of thinkers and their followers within it, have been neither overlooked nor, we believe, prejudged - whether or not these aims have in the past been submerged with efforts made to accomplish them, and whether or not on the fulfilment of these ideals depend the future peace and prosperity of the world. Our readers will understand that, in the several chapters of this History, military and naval events, as well as the progress of parliamentary legislation and administrative changes at home or in other parts of the empire, due to the influence of the Crown, of parties and movements in Church and State, and to the voice of public opinion and the Press, have been kept in constant view, without being themselves discussed. The successive stages of Indian and (British) Colonial history have in no instance been regarded as detached from that of Great Britain and Ireland. The narrative is throughout based on documentary evidence and has, so far as possible, been arranged in chronological sequence, though without any attempt, more especially in certain summarising sections of the later Volumes, to maintain a synchronistic system of dates.

The Cambridge History of British Foreign Policy, 1783-1919: available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. With contributions from leading historians of the day, alongside chapters by politicians, journalists and lawyers, this three-volume work was the first comprehensive survey of foreign policy during the rise of Britain as a major power. Published between 1922 and 1923, it is unashamed in its aim to present 'a national point of view [with] an avowed regard for the interests, and above all for the honour of Great Britain', but is all the more illuminating for that. Including some original memoranda and documents, it takes as its starting point the Treaty of Paris ending the American War of Independence, and concludes with the Treaty of Versailles (1919). Volume 2 begins with the defeat of Napoleon, the Congress of Vienna and concerns over the balance of power in Europe. The broader focus of Britain's interests in this period is reflected in chapters on the Far East, America and India.
