Excerpt from Breaches of Anglo-American Treaties: A Study in History and Diplomacy "A declaration by the Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, " commonly known as The Declaration of Independence, proclaimed to the world the first quickening of that sovereign power which was to develop through inorganic association, and loose confederation, into the firm, indissoluble union now constituting the Republic of the United States of America. In that famous document the new infant nation attested its "decent respect to the opinions of mankind" by specifying the several causes which impelled it "to the separation." From that day to this, through a singular variety of vicissitudes, it has conducted its affairs with a regard for the opinion of other nations at least equal to that shown by its mother country. Yet only a few years ago, incidentally to the public discussion of the Hay-Pauncefote Treaty, the United States was arraigned by the British press as lacking in the sense of honor that holds a nation to its promise. The Saturday Review could not expect "to find President Taft acting like a gentleman." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
