Diplomatic Investigations
Toleration in Early Modern Times
I. The present paper will deal with toleration only in the restricted sense of the word, involving a system in which a society has ceased to insist on an absolute unanimity in faith and practice. Following some modern students, like De Ruggiero, I would regard the rather different system of what we call religious liberty as a higher class of article altogether, since it involves freedom to be Christian or Mohammedan, Protestant or Catholic, liber…
Some Trends in Scholarship 1868–1968, in the field of Modern History
Because of paradoxes which lie in the very nature of historical knowledge, our branch of scholarship was two centuries late in accomplishing the equivalent of the scientific revolution of the seventeenth century. Only in the nineteenth century was it possible to establish, and to put into general practice, those techniques of discovery and verification which enable the student really to feel his feet. And only after this could the subject itself …
Narrative History and the Spade‐work Behind It
Eighteenth-Century Ireland
Those who wish to put together the complete picture and story of eighteenth-century Ireland, in so far as these have been assembled in the literature of the last thirty years, will need to study many writings that lie on the periphery of the subject, or at least outside the main historiographical tradition. The scholarship seems to exist in separate layers which sometimes touch one another without quite interpenetrating; and a man may make a genu…

Some Reflections on the Early Years of George III's Reign
The present paper is concerned with “political history” — with the problems of the statesman who looks at the situation from above and has to make decisions about it. Granted that conditions are of a given sort and that society has a certain form — granted that men are what they are and events have produced a predicament that calls for action — there are people who have a presiding position and an over-all responsibility; and their strategies and…

The Tragic Element in Modern International Conflict
In the nineteenth century, when many people were optimistic in their views of human nature, and confident that the course of progress was going to be continued into an indefinite future, there were one or two prophets who feared and foretold that the twentieth century would see great wars of peoples, popular military dictatorships and the harnessing of the machines of industry to the science of warfare. It is interesting to note that, without kno…
