Abstract

Political Foresight
February 13, 1879 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on political developments taking place in Europe. The men who found it their interest to make a confidant of the English gentleman whose one remarkable gift was his insatiable curiosity to know what any celebrated person thought about anything, were almost all of them men far above the ordinary level. Many of them were versed in affairs. Some of them had played a leading part in European history. All of them were keenly interested in modern politics. From such persons one might reasonably expect to learn lessons of political wisdom or to receive remarkable forecasts of the future of Europe.
