Excerpt from Retrospect and Prospect: Studies in International Relations, Naval and Political
In their main features, the following essays are in direct sequence to those of the author"s previous volumes, "The Interest of America in Sea Power," and "The Problem of Asia." The title article, Retrospect and Prospect, in its scope serves as a connecting link between the present and their predecessors; indicating the continuity of interest and gradual development of the several subjects dealt with. As the future has passed into the present, it has brought with it the unfolding of inevitable policy, evolving fresh problems, that are in essence only new phases of a steady progression, which in its course is making history.
As has hitherto usually been the case, the articles in this book for the most part have been written, not of the author"s own initiative, but in response to the request of editors.
