About This Book

A series of lectures provides a practical account of the United States diplomatic and consular services, describing organizational structure, grades and rank equivalencies with military officers, and salary-based classifications. It outlines selection and appointment procedures and recent reform measures including competitive examinations, and details consular duties such as correspondence with the State Department, passports and visas, the exequatur, commercial representation, and relations with naval authorities. Chapters contrast consular and diplomatic functions, discuss the service's role in promoting trade and national interests abroad, and include appendices with tables and a synopsis of commercial treaties and consular postings.

Transcriber Notes
  • Obvious typos corrected. Inconsistencies in punctuation kept as in original.
  • Inconsistent spelling and hyphenation made consistent, e.g.: handbook, shipboard, to-day, chargé(s) d’affaires.
  • Spelling of Quebec and Colombia made consistent, but otherwise spellings of city and country names left as printed in the original.
  • Unclear name suffix in the original was confirmed as Jacob Meyer Jr. elsewhere.
  • Page number in Table of Contents for Lecture III—Consular Service—Duties changed to 83 to match actual start of chapter.
  • The Diplomatic Service and Consular Service tables in the Appendix have footnotes that are referenced in multiple entries across the original pages in the text. Rather than retain multiple footnotes with identical content, multiple anchors in the text may refer to a single note.
  • P. 208 in the original indicates a footnote * that has no corresponding anchor on that page, so it does not appear here.
  • The column headers with vertical text in the Synopsis of Commercial Treaties table on pp. 212-213 have been moved to a Key.
  • The Synopsis of Commercial Treaties table uses Unicode characters dagger (U+2020) and double dagger (U+2021). If the device font does not support these characters, † and ‡, they may not appear correctly.
  • Indent of Lethbridge, Alberta in table on p. 226 made to match surrounding entries since it falls in alphabetical order of those.
  • If the device allows, some full page images can be clicked on to view a larger version.
