In the first two volumes Viscount Grey has traced almost from day to
day the actual course of European diplomacy and the changes in inter- national sentiment and motives that led to the horror of the years 1914 to 1018. The working of British foreign policy is carefully shown, and praised rather for its negative good qualities' of which the most essential is that it is based on an instinct for peace and stability, and does not depend on the ceaseless supervision of one great man."
