Elliot. Life and letters of Sir Gilbert Elliot. 3 vols. London : 1874. 
Elliot's importance in this study lies in his relations with Burke and with Portland and in his 
service in Corsica as governor of that island. His observations on public men were usually 
shrewd and his comments illuminating, while his attitude on Pitt’s peace negotiations is im¬ 
portant, since he entered the service of the government because of his belief in the necessity of 
combating the French Revolution. 
Gustave III. Collection des ecrits politiques, litteraircs et dramatiques de Gus¬ 
tave III. 5 vols. Stockholm: 1804-1805. 
This is of value in connection with the relations of Sweden and the Triple Alliance of 1788 and 
again in 1791. The more interesting relations of Gustavus III and the court of France have no 
bearing in this study. 
-. History of the late revolution in the Dutch Republic. Anonymous. 
London : 1789. 
A r6sum6 written by George Ellis immediately after the events leading up to the Triple Alliance 
of 1788. Ellis was long the confidential friend of Harris, afterward Earl of Malmesbury, and 
accompanied him on many of his diplomatic missions. This account is the best, from the English 
point of view, of the public causes of the revolution in Holland. 
Keith. Memoirs and correspondence of Sir Robert Murray Keith. 2 vols. Lon¬ 
don : 1849. 
Keith represented England at Vienna at the time of the Russian armament of 1791 and was one 
of the negotiators of the Austriau-Turkish peace of Sistovo. His letters are valuable in connec¬ 
tion with the resignation of Leeds, the involved diplomacy of Leopold II, and also for his intimate 
acquaintance with Ewart, the English representative at Berlin, revealing the latter’s disgust with 
Grenville’s diplomacy.

Malmesbury. Diaries and correspondence ofJames Harris, first Earl of Malmes¬ 
bury. 4 vols. London : 1844. 
Malmesbury was Pitt’s favorite agent in diplomacy from 1788 to 1797. These volumes are espe¬ 
cially important in this study in connection with the Triple Alliance of 1788, the Prussian subsidy 
of 1793-1794, the attempt to recover Prussian aid in 1795, the peace negotiations at Paris in 1796, 
and those at Lille in 1797. The correspondence in Malmesbury is published in the form of extracts, 
thus somewhat lessening its value as a source and rendering it impossible to rely upon it alone. 
Most of Malmesbury’s letters and despatches to England may, however, be checked word for word 
by reference to the Dropmore Manuscripts or to the Parliamentary History , and this has been 
done in every important instance. Very few cases of important difference have been found, and 
where found these have been pointed out in the foot-notes. In general it may be said that Malmes¬ 
bury as a source has been taken by historians too much at his face value, insufficient care having 
been taken to discover his exact and often hidden meaning. He was by habit diplomatically indi¬ 
rect, even in his most intimate letters.

Maret’s part in the negotiations at Lille.

Par Fr£d£ric Masson. Paris : 1877. 
Useful for exact dates and well-established facts, as well as for general estimates of French 
diplomats.
