FOR THE historian who aims at writing objectively, who seeks to subordinate the expression of his own personal sentiments and opinions to the impartial presentation of facts, a preface affords the only opportunity of addressing his readers personally. I have frequently availed myself of this privilege. I do so in reference to this book more eagerly than ever, because I wish to explain the difficult circumstances under which it has been written, since they may extenuate its obvious limitations and defects. No author is entitled to deprecate criticism of his work. But some sympathy may be extended to a writer who believes that he has something to say, but cannot say it in a manner worthy of his subject.

This book has been written by an exile deprived by a German bomb of access to all but a fragment of his own library, and to practically the whole of his carefully collected memoranda, and is also denied by circumstances the use of any great library. Yet, if the book was to be written at all, its publication could not without disadvantage be delayed. The result is that this book is, to an extent for which I apologize, a reshuffle of works already published by me. But the method is perhaps justifiable, because the materials drawn upon are dispersed among many volumes, and it seemed worth while to collect and focus them upon a subject which, though evidently of great importance at the moment, has never as far as I know previously been presented in any similar form or with a similar object.

The object will, I hope, be made clear from the pages that follow. It calls, therefore, for no reiteration in these prefatory paragraphs.

I have attempted to adhere strictly to the subject implied in the title, the relations between England and Russia, excluding, as far as possible, reference to the domestic policy of either country, except in so far as that policy has had a bearing upon the mutual relations of the two Powers concerned. To this rule Chapters II and III form an exception, made because a brief sketch of the evolution of Russia seemed, down to the reign of Peter the Great, essential to a comprehension of the subsequent narrative, and because it is, I suspect, to many English readers, unfamiliar.

Had circumstances permitted I should like to have included some more maps, but, in any case, no one should read a book like this without a good historical atlas at hand.

October 19, 1943 J. A. R. M.

CONTENTS

CHAPTER

MAPS

There can be no more important question than that of Anglo-Soviet relations. We need to face fairly and squarely the difficulties that beset our relations. To overcome the difficulties which behaviour or outlook has presented in the past there must be better understanding of one another. We still have a long way to go before we can be satisfied on this point, and that is largely due to the history of the past.
