Excerpt from Origins of the Triple Alliance: Three Lectures It as a conservative league to protect ill gotten gains. Although it dissolved when brought to the touchstone of actual war, its importance as an international factor for many years makes it well worth our study. In the following three chapters I have tried to point out the causes, per sonal as well as international, that led to its formation. I have not made any startling discoveries, nor have I new the otics to put forth, but I believe I have made use of the best accessible informa tion. Instead of St. Petersburg I ought perhaps to have used the name Petrograd, and I should have done so in speaking of current affairs, but for those of the past it still seems permissible to keep to the older form. For the sake of brevity and smoothness I have often used the word Austria where austria-hungary or the Dual Empire would have been more cor rect; but this, also, is, I think, condoned by current usage.
