Excerpt from Society, Politics and Diplomacy, 1820-1864: Passages From the Journal of Francis W. H. Cavendish Office and, being unable to endure the noise and bustle of the town, to retire to quieter scenes of life. Some little time before his death, in 1893, he began to write his recollections, but not till last year were his papers examined. It then became evident that, although he kept a journal nearly all his life, Mr. Cavendish omitted from it much that was within his knowledge, and also that various interesting letters and documents to which he refers have vanished. In preparing his reminiscences it is obvious he had taken from his journal the ground work of many incidents with the intention of filling in later, at his leisure, details of light and shade drawn from the numerous memories stored in his retentive brain, but unfortunately the end came suddenly before he could complete his work. However, he recorded much, and the task of selection has not been on the whole an easy one. The editor can bear witness that Mr. Cavendish possessed a vast fund of anecdote of all kinds, and would give much to be able to recall a tithe of the many and various tales of society, politics, and diplomacy with which he was wont to regale his family and friends.

Servants of Diplomacy offers a bottom-up history of the 19th-century Foreign Office and in doing so, provides a ground-breaking study of modern British diplomacy. Whilst current literature focuses on the higher echelons of the Office, Keith Hamilton sheds a new light on the administrative and social history of Whitehall which have, until now, been largely ignored. Hamilton's examination of the roles and actions of the Foreign Office's domestic staff is exhaustive, with close attention paid to: the keepers of the office, keepers of the papers, the carriers of the papers and the efforts made to adapt to growing technological changes. Hamilton's exhaustive analysis also focuses on the reforms of 1905-06 and the Queen's Messengers during wartime. Drawing extensively from Foreign Office and Treasury archives and private manuscript collections, this is essential reading for anyone with an interest of British diplomatic history.

Ordnance: War + Architecture & Space investigates how strategies of warfare occupy and alter built and other landscapes. Ranging across the modern period from the eighteenth century to the present day, the book presents a series of case-studies which operate in and between a number of settings and scales, from the infrastructures of the battlefield to the logistics of the domestic realm. The book explores the patterns, forms and systems that articulate militarised spaces, excavates how these become re-circulated and reconfigured within other domains and discusses the often ephemeral legacies and residues of these architectures. The complexities of unpicking the spaces of the 'fog of war' are addressed by an inter-disciplinary approach which deploys graphic and textual analyses and techniques to provide new and unique perspectives on a hitherto underexplored aspect of architectural and spatial discourse: the tactics and programmes through which the built environment has historically been made to respond to the imperatives and threats of conflict and, in the context of the 'war on terror', continues to be so in ever more pervasive ways.
