Excerpt from Historical Backgrounds of the Great War, the War: Its Origins and Warnings
This book originated in a éeries of lectures arranged for the Sheffield University War Lectures Com mittee, and for Various Relief Committees, Adult Schools, Ethical Societies, and similar organiza tions in the Sheffield area. Since they were given, however, they have grown so considerably that I have thought it better to call them in their present form essays rather than lectures, for fear lest any reader should'imagine that I actually administered such masses to my various audiences in lecture form. N evertheiess, an occasional colloquialism or repetition in the text Which I may have not removed may serve to indicate the original form of the four essays Which constitute the book.
