Book Description
Excerpt from The Historical, Political, and Diplomatic Writings, Vol. 2 of 4 Those who desire to win the favor of princes generally endeavor to do so by offering them those things which they themselves prize most, or such as they observe the prince to delight in most. Thence it is that princes have very often presented to them horses, arms, cloth of gold, precious stones, and similar ornaments worthy of their greatness. Wishing now myself to offer to your Magnificence some proof of my devotion, I have found nothing amongst all I possess that I hold more dear or esteem more highly than the knowledge of the actions of great men, which I have acquired by long experience of modern affairs, and a continued study of ancient history. These I have meditated upon for a long time, and examined with great care and diligence; and having now written them out in a small volume, I send this to your Magnificence. And although I judge this work unworthy of you, yet I trust that your kindness of heart may induce you to accept it, considering that I cannot offer you anything better than the means of understanding in the briefest time all that which I have learnt by so many years of study, and with so much trouble and danger to myself.

Book Description
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Book Description
Excerpt from Diplomatic Memoirs, Vol. 2 of 2 I have referred in previous chapters to the interest manifested President Arthur in the development of commercial reciprocity, and to the steps taken by his administration to inaugurate and carry forward such a system of exchange with foreign countries. His defeat in the national convention of his party in 1884, followed by the election of President Cleveland, who was opposed to the system, resulted in the failure of the three treaties which had been negotiated with Mexico, with Spain for Cuba and Porto Rico, and with San Domingo. But the return of the Republicans to power in the election of President Harrison in 1888 revived the reciprocity projects. Special arrangements or treaties for the favored ex change of products with other nations were not an entirely new measure. During the presidency of Jackson a treaty made with France(1831) contained commercial reciprocity provisions. In 1843 President Tyler instructed our Minister to Prussia, Mr. Wheaton, to negotiate with the Germanic Customs Union, or Zollverein, "a commercial treaty, which, while it will open new advantages to the agricultural interests of the United States and a more free and expanded field for commercial operations, will affect injuriously no existing interest in the Union.' This was the exact basis upon which reciprocity was advocated by the Harrison Administration in 1890. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from Diplomatic Memoirs, Vol. 1 of 2 The spirited political campaign of 1872 closed with the triumphant reelection of General Grant as President of the United States. Indiana was classed as one of the doubtful States, and the result of the October election was looked forward to with anxiety by both political parties as indicating the trend of public sentiment. Oliver P. Morton, the leader of his party in the State and one of the foremost statesmen of his day, was a candidate for reelection to the Senate of the United States, and he felt that his political life was at stake in the contest. As Chairman of the Republican State Committee, I conducted the campaign which resulted in the choice of a Republican majority in the legislature, and pointed unmistakably to the success of President Grant. Senator Morton was greatly pleased, and when the returns were all in, he invited Mrs. Foster and myself to a private dinner at his residence in Indianapolis. When it was concluded, I accompanied the Senator to his private office, and he at once said that to me more than any one else was due the decisive party victory, and that he personally felt under great obligations to me which he desired to discharge. He told me to take the "Blue Book" (the register of federal officers of the United States) and select the office I wanted, and that without further trouble on my part he would see that it was given me.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Diplomatic Reminiscences of Lord Augustus Loftus, 1837-1862, Vol. 2 of 2 The confidential mission of Lord Cowley to Vienna was also viewed as a probable prelude to a future alliance between England and Austria, and in con junction later with the mission of the Archduke Albert to Berlin, may have been construed into the probability of a Triple Alliance, in which case a general European war would have been inevitable. The Russian proposal of a Congress may also have been made at the instigation of France in order to gain time for completing her armaments.

Book Description
In Machiavelliana Michael Jackson and Damian Grace offer a comprehensive study of the uses and abuses of Niccolò Machiavelli’s name in society generally and in academic fields distant from his intellectual origins. It assesses the appropriation of Machiavelli in didactic works in management, social psychology, and primatology, scholarly texts in leaderships studies, as well as novels, plays, commercial enterprises, television dramas, operas, rap music, Mach IV scales, children’s books, and more. The book audits, surveys, examines, and evaluates this Machiavelliana against wider claims about Machiavelli. It explains the origins of Machiavelli’s reputation and the spread of his fame as the foundation for the many uses and misuses of his name. They conclude by redressing the most persistent distortions of Machiavelli.
