Harold.W.V. Temperley 
Foreign Policy of Canning Cb [EPUB ebook] 
Foreign Plcy Canning

First published in 1966- The history of a foreign policy is not the same thing as the biography of a Foreign Minister. The former aims at showing what a foreign policy was, the latter at what a Foreign Minister was. The latter is pure biography, while this book aims at placing the individual in his proper relation to other diplomatic personalities and to events. The book shows in general a hearty approval of the spirit of nationality, and Temperley writes with patriotic fervour when he defends the British attack on Copenhagen during Canning“s first career as a Foreign Minister in 1807 and this fervour is expanded in this research work.
