Synopsis
Excerpt from The History of Twenty Five Years, Vol. 3: 1856 1880
In his Preface to the first two volumes that appeared in 1904, Sir Spencer Walpole described the scope and design of his 'history of Twenty-five Years,' and explained the rules and methods that he had adopted in composing it. He also gave the reasons that determined him to give this work a new title, although it is in fact a continuation of his 'history of England from 1815 to He said that during the next following period - from 1857 to 1880 - the connexion of England with foreign affairs was of predominant interest, and that the importance of domestic affairs was comparatively secondary. Accordingly, in those volumes he allotted long chapters to continental events and transactions, and to the policy of the British Government in rela tion to them. It will be seen that in the two volumes now published he has followed a similar plan. The first opens with a chapter on the Treaty of London and the Geneva Award, while the second volume con tains chapters on the Eastern Question, and on the important part taken by the British Government in the negotiations connected with the russo-turkish War and the Berlin Treaty.
