As the great Sir Robert's son, Horace Walpole had a ubiquitous entree as well as a tireless eye and the great world's attentive ear. His letters, the most diverting in all English literature, provide a lasting mirror of the 18th century aristocracy that ruled Great Britain; forged, as at times it fettered, taste; commanded a style, established an attitude...

Spanish Philosopher Salvador de Madariaga expressed it better than anyone else...
...servant. The members of the Common Market executive and their staff drive cars marked with special European license plates, send their children to the European high school, and, except for accents, have lost many of their national traits or concerns. Of all these new civil servants, still the most tireless at 72 is Jean Omer Marie Gabriel Monnet, the most dedicated international ist of them all-although at the same time he remains as thoroughly French as Cognac, the town of his birth...
