Excerpt from Since Waterloo: A Short History of Europe and of the British Empire, 1815 1919 Diagrams. - The diagrams are intended to explain themselves, and to suggest the idea of making other diagrams, from the facts and events given in the book. A diagram is useful when it brings out clearly, to be seen at a glance, facts that in words form a rather confused mass; or when it shows a real connection between things usually kept apart; or when it sets out what is already known in a more striking way. But also, a diagram may be misleading. It may show sharp divisions where there are really rather gradual changes; or it may give the wrong idea that whatever is left out of the diagram is of no importance. Wherever time or size is important a diagram should be drawn to scale. The Frontispiece (Diagram I.) has a short story of its own. A boy of 14 1/2 years, who for about eight months had been taking in class the history of Europe since 1815, was set this task: "You stand now in 1918. Look back to 1815 along the history of each European country, mark out the great changes, note which of them are common to most countries, and map the results in a diagram of some kind. Use lines, curves, shading, colour, or what method you please." His drawing, corrected, and changed from 1918 to 1920, forms the Frontispiece.
