Excerpt from The International Crisis in Its Ethical and Psychological Aspects: Lectures Delivered in February and March 1915; Under the Scheme for Imperial Studies in the University of London at Bedford College for Women
I Must begin by confessing that I am so entirely without such special knowledge on any subject connected with "the International Crisis in its Ethical and Psychological Aspects" as would enable me to speak about it with authority, or otherwise than as an ordinary member of the general public, that it was only after much hesitation that I accepted the invitation to give this lecture. I reflected, however, that in a crisis like this there is a general desire to exchange views. We all have views whether we are experts or not. We all have our minds fixed on the crisis, and have all made them up, with more or less definiteness, on such questions as the rightness of the war and what our attitude towards it and matters connected with it, as a nation and as individuals, should be. But with most of us, in this as in other matters about which we have to judge, the more or less definiteness is apt to be less.
