A Guide to Diplomatic Practice, Vol. 1 (Classic Reprint)

International Law and Diplomacy was conceived some years ago, and arrangements were made accordingly with intending contributors. The outbreak of the great war jeopardized the whole undertaking, and it became doubtful whether the plan would ever be realized. However, Sir Ernest Satow, in spite of the troubled times, has succeeded in completing the present work on Diplomacy which he had undertaken to write for the series, and there is also ready for the press a monograph on International Conventions and Third States, by Mr. Roxburgh, which will be published presently. Further, there is hope that a work on Private International Law, treating the matter on a rational and comparative basis, may be published in 1918 from the pen of Dr. John Pawley Bate. A volume on Diplomatic History, by Mr. G. G. Butler, Fellow and Lecturer of Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, and other contributions are in preparation. Concerning the present work, it is not for me to extol its value. But I may be permitted to say that it is unique with regard to the method of treatment of the subject, as well as the selection of the topics discussed and in the amount of original research which it embodies. The intention was to produce a work which would be of service alike to the international lawyer, the diplomatist, and the student of history.
