Excerpt from The Edinburgh Review, Vol. 220: Or Critical Journal, July, 1914 October, 1914, To Be Continued Quarterly Few Englishmen take a sustained and continuous interest in foreign policy. Fewer still make any serious study of the subject. When a war breaks out or a crisis threatens, people who like to be regarded as well informed make a scrambling effort to 'get up' the points at issue, and amid a shoal of minnows they promptly pose as authoritative whales. But not outside the ranks of professional publicists and politicians, nor always perhaps within them, is there any systematic and scientific investigation of the difficult and devious ways of European diplomacy. To this rule the world of high finance is, of course, an exception, that world, however, is not English but cosmopolitan.
