This book was first published in 1914, and the author has now written a new preface, explaining how the War has modified his views, but saying that whatever the Englishman may become, he would still be "The man of my choice, with whom I wrangle because he is my brother, far from whom I could not live, who quietly grins at my internationalism and makes allowances for me because, Englishman though I be, I was not born in his damned and dear little island."
