Book Description

Excerpt from British Diplomatic Instructions; 1689-1789, Vol. 7: France, 1745-1789 Until the change of the calendar, dates are in Old Style unless it is otherwise stated. To the Director of the Society my warmest thanks are due, as often before, for help in manifold ways, but more especially on this occasion, as it is owing to his energy and knowledge alone that the instructions to the Duke of Dorset, of which there is no copy among the Foreign Office papers in the Public Record Office, have been found. The Society is also indebted to the Secretary of the Historical Manuscripts Commission for facilities to inspect and to Lord Sackville for permission to use the original instructions among Dorset's papers. I have also to thank Dr. H. P. Biggar for kindly answering some questions with which I troubled him on Acadian topography.
