Excerpt from Present-Day Europe: Its National States of Mind England, only Englishmen speak; in the chapter on France, only Frenchmen; and so on. What other Europeans say about England or France may be discovered m subsequent chapters devoted to other peoples. The only departures from this direct-quotation rule are the closing chapters deal ing with minor nationalities, where considerations of space made the employment of this method im practicable. The great objection to our method is, of course, precisely this matter of space. But there is no other way of portraying with equal vividness the national temper, especially in times of intense emo tion. For this reason I have elected to confine myself to a full presentation of the great. Currents of European thought and feeling regarding the war and future intra-european relations. Many interesting collateral issues have been thereby ex cluded from consideration, and important ques tions, such as Europe's attitude toward America and the Far East, have been perforce entirely passed over. All this is unfortunate, but I have preferred to emphasize essentials rather than sac rifice clearness to detail.
