Diplomatic Services 4 Volumes
Contains seven Select Committee reports presented to parliment between the years 1835 and 1872. During this period the entire character of the British Diplomatic and Consular services were to undergo significant changes. The Select Committee of 1835 and 1858 established the practice of regular instructions, reports and information between the Foreign Office, the Board of Trade and the consuls abroad. The Select Committee of 1861 concentrated its attention on the Diplomatic Service and took evidence from prominent Foreign Office officials and leading diplomats and consuls. This committee more than any other established the Diplomatic Service as we know it today, a service based on open examination, apprenticeship and regular structures of promotion, salary and pension.
