White, which, by the kind consent of The Century Company, is reprinted in the present volume from his Autobiography, bears a unique relation. Mr. White was the head of our American delegation; and his careful journal, covering the whole period of the Conference, is the only similar record which has been published by any of the participants. It thus has a value as an original historical document not unlike in some respects that of Madison's journal in relation to our Constitutional Convention of 1787; and it has the additional value and charm of communicating the im pression of the general social atmosphere and environ ment of the Conference. It will thus have a high and abiding interest in international history, and its publi cation in the present form will certainly find a wide and warm welcome.
