Excerpt from A Guide to Diplomatic Practice, Vol. 1
The death of Dr. L. Oppenheim, Whewell Professor of International Law in the University of Cambridge, on October 8, 1919, has deprived this revised edition of the advantage of his supervision, but it is not thought by the author that he would have disapproved of the alterations. These consist chiefly of the excision of the Russian Court ceremonial for the reception of foreign diplomatists and their wives, and rules governing precedence among such persons, and an enlargement of the section on Conferences in Volume II, Chapter XXVI, including the Peace Conference of Paris, 1919. In Chapter III, the history of the office of Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs has been re-written, and the account of diplomatic archives in various European Countries has been enlarged. In Chapter X, an account is given of the ultimatums delivered in 1914 which preceded the Great War, but otherwise there is no change to be noted in diplomatic practice up to the present date. The meetings of the "Supreme Council" to deal with problems arising out of the Peace Treaties are in all probability unlikely to be continued when once the condition of things in Europe shall again have become normal. The numbering of the paragraphs has been preserved throughout, and is unaffected by the excisions specified above. Chapter V on Titles and Precedence of Sovereigns has for the most part ceased to have any but an historical interest, owing to the disappearance of sovereignty in the German empire and its component states, in Austria-Hungary and in Russia.
