Excerpt from France in the Twentieth Century A corrective was however necessary if he was to View France with the eye of an impartial and not a French observer. This was supplied by the fact of his being of English stock and of having benefited by continual association with men and women of his own race while still resident in France. Moreover, after completing his military service, he has passed in Great Britain the five years immediately preceding the publication of this book, so that he has been enabled to refresh the original British influence and to relieve the overwhelming weight of his early training. It need only be added that these five years have not entirely divorced the author from the land of his birth; he retained contact with it and its language by the prae tice of journalism and by following closely the march of political events in France. Thus he happens to be in a privileged position, and is willing to forgo any tolera tion which is accorded as a rule to him who treats of a foreign country.
