Neither the conception nor the consummation of the policy which had placed this country in so commanding a position as that which it had reached towards the close of the second decade of the century is to be ascribed, wholly or mainly, to the inspiration of Hanoverian counsels ; just as it would be delusive to seek the chief motive for the energy exhibited by the statesmanship which carried out that policy in devo- tion to the interests of the new dynasty. Nevertheless, at no other time during ...the continuance of the Union was the conduct of our foreign affairs more immediately under the eyes of the sovereign — especially when he was residing at Hanover ; and at none was he in more constant commu- nication and consultation with the politicians in possession of his personal confidence, among whom Bernstorff, and next to him Bothmer, were prominent. The great achieve- ments of the foreign policy of George I's reign thus bear the unmistakeable mark of the King's personal approval. Ill] THE FOREIGN POLICY OF GEORGE I 107 and of the co-operation of his Hanoverian counsellors.
