It was not in him to appear to agree when he differed ... He was thoroughly English in point of view and outlook ... But he took the trouble to understnad, and when he understood, his critical faculty enabled him to appreciate what was good as well as to see what appeared to him faulty ... He believed the Entente with France not only to be practicable, but to be the policy which was best for his own country, for France, and for Europe generally."1 He has an extensive biographical entry in the Dictionary of National Biography.2
