PREFACE present biographical series, initiated by the volume on JL
Nietzsche by Crane Brinton, has no intention of offering to the
public once again the biographies of men which appear with almost
monotonous regularity Napoleon, Cavour, Gladstone, Marx. It
proposes instead to present the lives of men for whom there is no
biography, or no adequate biography in English. At the same time
these biographies will deal with men who left a significant impress
on their age, men who may properly be con sidered as Makers of
Modern Europe. Contributors will be invited to keep steadily before
them the view that serious historical biography involves constantly
the relation of its subject to his historical context. They will
expose in adequate detail the problems with which the statesman
dealt, the significant contributions which the thinker made. They
will address themselves constantly to the question What was the
significance of this man for his epoch The conception and
development of the present series owes much to the counsel of
others and especially of those here men tioned. I have consulted
repeatedly various ones of my col leagues at Harvard, and have had
the helpful advice of Professor Charles K. Webster of the
University of London, Professors Carl L.Becker and Philip E. Mosely
of Cornell, Pro fessors Arthur M. Wilson of Dartmouth and Chester
W. Clark of the University of Iowa, and Drs. Edgar P. Dean and
Robert G. Woolbert of the Council on Foreign Relations. In this, as

stimulating interest of my wife and have been saved from many
errors by her detached and candid criticism. DONALD C. McKAY JOHN

IWJSH to make quite clear that this study of Nietzsche does not
attempt to analyze his work from the point of view of a
professional philosopher, nor to estimate his place in the long
line of such philosophers. That is a task for which I am not
prepared. This study is rather an attempt to place Nietzsches work
in the more general currents of opinion in our time. It is a study
of Nietzsche as politiquc ct moralistc. Begun before Munich,
finished after the defeat of France, it must bear some marks of
contemporary events. Nazi commentators on Nietzsche are not
agreeable and conciliating writers. There is, at least to an
American brought up before the Four Years War, something very
unpleasant about the Nazis, and especially about Nazi
intellectuals. Abusive epithets like barbarous, uncivilized,
insane, arrogant, brutal, all carry many of the right overtones you
cannot fairly use nice words, nor even neutral words dear to
semanticists, about the group that has made contemporary Germany.
Yet I confess I have not been able to find what seems to me just
the right word for the Nazis the nearest I can come is the metaphor
with which I close Chapter VIII. I have not, then, written sine ira
ct studio. On the other hand, I hopethat I have not indulged in the
now once more popular sport of Hun-baiting. This book is not meant
to indict the German nation. I owe much to odds and ends of
conversations with many of my friends, whom I cannot in these pages
do more than thank as a group. I should like, however, to
acknowledge more X PREFACE specifically numerous debts. To the
Macmillan Company I am grateful for their generous permission to

Nietzsches works, edited by Dr. Oscar Levy. Dr...
The Lives of Talleyrand is a study of the character and actions of
the man who so profoundly influenced the destiny of the French
Revolution and helped to shape the contours of all Europe as well.
The requisite historical background is of course given, but it is
the many-faceted personality of Talleyrand which the author has
made it his task to portray--and he has done so with discrimination
and wit.
