Excerpt from International Policy: Essays on the Foreign Relations of England
A few words only are needed by way of preface to this book. It resembles in form several recent publications: it is a collection of Essays by different writers, each of whom signs his name. It differs from most, if not all, such recent publications in the definiteness of its object and in its immediately political and practical character.
Certain principles are adopted equally by all the contributors, and they are adopted from the political and social system known as Positivism. But beyond the adoption of these principles, to be shortly stated, no one of the writers is to be considered as committed to that system, unless he himself in his Essay advances farther.
There are three positions on which the writers are agreed.
First. That the international relations of mankind are a fit subject for a systematic policy.
