| Summary | "The Diplomatists of Europe" by M. Capefigue is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. The book provides a series of biographical sketches of influential European statesmen and diplomats, focusing on their political philosophies and contributions to shaping European politics, particularly in the context of the post-Napoleonic period. At the start of the book, the author outlines the motives behind compiling these sketches, which have previously appeared in magazines. Capefigue intends to counter the negative perceptions of conservative statesmen that have been overshadowed by the revolutionary figures of his time. He specifically highlights the importance of figures such as Prince Metternich, Talleyrand, and the Duke of Wellington, illustrating their pivotal roles in creating and sustaining a political order in Europe amidst the upheaval of wars and revolutions. This introduction sets the stage for deeper explorations into the lives and ideologies of these notable diplomats, portraying their efforts in a time marked by significant political strife and necessitating a delicate balance of power.
