Intervention And Non Intervention Or The Foreign Policy Of Great Britain From 1790 To 1865 PDF Download

Excerpt from Intervention and Non-Intervention: Or the Foreign Policy of Great Britain From 1790 to 1865 I began this work more than two years and a half ago, and the larger portion of it was in Mr. Murray's hands some time before the death of Lord Palmerston. The great amount of popularity which that statesman acquired during the latter years of his career, and the skill with which for the most part during those years he conducted the internal affairs of this country, will make the vast majority of the British public unwilling to scan too closely any defects, if defects there were, in his management of our foreign relations. If I were not deeply impressed with the conviction that the consequences of those defects are still making themselves seriously felt throughout the world - and if I did not conscientiously believe that it is of the utmost importance to my country that their nature should be clearly understood, this book would never have seen the light.
