Summary: "The Diplomatists of Europe" by M. Capefigue is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. The book provides a series of biographical sketches of influential European statesmen and diplomats, focusing on their political philosophies and contributions to shaping European politics, particularly in the context of the post-Napoleonic period. At the start of the book, the author outlines the motives behind compiling these sketches, which have previously appeared in magazines.
