In 1897 President McKinley appointed him Ambassador to England, and a year and a half later he recalled him and made him Secretary of State. Let us sum up the education of this man, as at 60 years of age he took his seat at the head of the Department of State. Six years with Abraham Lincoln in the study of men, of politics and of government in the mighty crisis of a civil war; five years abroad in the study of diplomacy, European institutions, politics and languages ; two years in the State Dep...artment in the study of diplo- 10 John Hay matic methods in this country ; a year and a half as Ambassador at the Court of St. James, a supplemen- tary course in European diplomacy, institutions and politics ; twenty years of painstaking, indefatigable, masterful study of Abraham Lincoln and his time, resulting in a work which not only takes high rank among the great biographies of the world, but is also an authoritative history of the epoch preceding and including our civil war. When this pupil and disciple of Lincoln, this life-long student of art and literature and gov- ernment, became Secretary of State, he had for the first time opportunity to test to the full the value of his training and the extent of his powers.
