“His plan is less ambitious than that of Dr Dillon, for he leaves out most of the historical summaries which are a valuable feature of Dr Dillon’s volume, and also tells fewer incidents.

“His summary of the deliberations of the conference is just a little too summary, and the chapter on Lenin and Bela Kun is vague and unsatisfactory. On the other hand, Mr Harris’s judgments of the personalities of the conference are generally temperate and just.”
