BIBLIOGRAPHY. 
The references cited in the body of the work are here arranged in 
alphabetical order under the subtitle used in the foot-notes. The prin¬ 
cipal source is the new collection of letters known as the “ Dropmore 
Manuscripts.” Whenever possible, all other references have been 
tested by it. 
In a study having for its main object the personal relations and in¬ 
fluence of two men it was inevitable that the memoirs of contempora¬ 
ries should be used largely. The caution with which such sources 
must be cited has been kept constantly in mind, and they have been 
cited only in cases where comparison with the Dropmore Manuscripts 
proves the credibility of the incidents stated, or where the citations, 
serve to bring out the personal attitude or impression of the writers. 
The secondary authorities have been used merely either to authenticate 
well-established incidents essential to a logical statement of events or as 
supplementary proof. 
Auckland. The journal and correspondence of William, Lord Auckland. 4 vols. 
London : 1861-1862. 
William Eden, afterward Lord Auckland, was on a diplomatic mission in Paris from 178510 1788 
and represented England at The Hague from 1790 to 1793. His correspondence is therefore impor¬ 
tant for the formation of the Triple Alliance of 1788, for the Russian armament of 1791, and for the 
events leading up to and including the outbreak of war in 1793. 
Bailleu. Preussen und Frankreich von ijgs bis 1807. Diplomatische Correspon- 
denzen, herausgegeben von Paul Bailleu. 2 vols. Leipzig : 1881-1887. 
Barras. Memoirs of Barras. Edited by George Dnruy. 4 vols. New York : 
1895-1896. 
The compilation of these memoirs, long after the events treated, renders them of doubtful 
service, and they have been used here only as supplementary evidence. 
Bourgoing. Histoire diplomatique de VEurope pendant la revolution frangaise. 
Par Francois de Bourgoing. 4 vols. Paris : 1865-1886. 
Bourgoing is now considered an antiquated work, but well-autheuticated data are sometimes 
found in it not elsewhere cited. His sources were limited as compared with those at the sendee 
of more recent historians. 
Burges. Selections from the letters and correspondence of Sir James Bland Burges. 
Edited by Janies Hutton. London : 1885. 
Burges was Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs under both Leeds and Grenville. His 
letters are especially important for the change of English policj* in 1791, which brought about the 
resignation of Leeds and the advancement of Grenville, but they have been so edited as to furnish 
a readable book rather than a valuable historical source, and extracts of correspondence must 
therefore be checked from other works.
