Excerpt from The Monroe Doctrine

When the addresses contained in this volume were delivered I had no thought that they would ever be published. They were prepared for special occasions; the subjects were assigned by those asking for their preparation and delivery; and the articles as now printed are substantially as delivered. Several friends, to whose judgment I have deferred, suggested that it would be advantageous to put these articles in permanent form, and hence this volume. It is notorious that many people, especially in the United States, have hazy and incorrect views as to what the Monroe Doctrine really is, and by whom originated. The hope is expressed that the article on that subject may at least prove useful in stimulating a desire for full and correct information. I trust the reader may find something in the following pages of interest and profit. My thanks are tendered to Mr. Reginald R. Fairweather, student-at-law, for his kindness in preparing the Index. It will facilitate easy reference to the topics discussed.
