Excerpt from Britain as an European Power
No one who has had any experience can fail to have been struck by the difficulty which the average reader finds in establishing a proper connection between the events of European and of British History. From the very beginning history is presented to him in two water-tight compartments. His first book tells him about Britain, or at least about England; but with little enough space at its disposal even for this task it naturally refrains from mentioning events on the Continent except when some reference to them is absolutely necessary. His second book deals with Europe, but takes for granted an existing knowledge of British History on the part of its readers, and practically omits Britain altogether.
