Talk by W. G. Hoskins
Reader in Economic History in the University of Oxford
Richard Ford, who died a hundred years ago today, is described on his tombstone in an Exeter churchyard as 'the most penetrating explorer of all things Spanish.' He introduced Amontillado sherry into England, publicised the work of Velasquez, and wrote what Dr. Hoskins believes to be a neglected masterpiece, his Handbook for Travellers in Spain.

Professor Kennan analyses the motives of intervention in Russia in 1918, and concludes that the prospects of American diplomacy were sacrificed to ' the slender and evanescent baubles of the military intervention.'
