INTRODUCTORY NOTE
The collected addresses and state papers of Elihu Root, of which this is one
of several volumes, cover the period of his service as Secretary of War, as
Secretary of State, and as Senator of the United States, during which time, to
use his own expression, his only client was his country.
The many formal and occasional addresses and speeches, which will be
found to be of a remarkably wide range, are followed by his state papers, such
as the instructions to the American delegates to the Second Hague Peace
Conference and other diplomatic notes and documents, prepared by him as
Secretary of State in the performance of his duties as an executive officer of the
United States. Although the official documents have been kept separate from
the other papers, this plan has been slightly modified in the volume devoted to
the military and colonial policy of the United States, which includes those
portions of his official reports as Secretary of War throwing light upon his public
addresses and his general military policy.
The addresses and speeches selected for publication are not arranged
chronologically, but are classified in such a way that each volume contains
addresses and speeches relating to a general subject and a common purpose.
The addresses as president of the American Society of International Law show
his treatment of international questions from the theoretical standpoint, and in
the light of his experience as Secretary of War and as Secretary of State,
unrestrained and uncontrolled by the limitations of official position, whereas his
addresses on foreign affairs, delivered while Secretary of State or as United
States Senator, discuss these questions under the reserve of official
responsibility.

masterly exposition of the principles of the Constitution and of the gover
