Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from International Society: Its Nature and Interests
Robertson of Brighton - a great idealist as well as a profound thinker - has said that: Society is not made by will, but by facts. This truth has not apparently been realized by many of the recent writers on international affairs. Too often they have shown a tendency toward wishful thinking in their eagerness to remould the universe nearer to the heart's desire.
Emotional appeals have been made to the natural Idealism of men without at the same time furnishing them with the solid facts concerning international society. Great hopes and visions of a new world order have been awakened to be followed inevi tably by disillusionment and discouragement.
