Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Germany, 1715-1815 The appended lists of authorities do not of course make any pretensions to be exhaustive bibliographies: the first gives the names of the principal books from which I have taken my information, the second of some books to which I would refer any one who wants more information on particular points than is here given. Other references will be found from time to time throughout the book to other works which I have consulted less frequently or on special points. Some books (indicated by an asterisk) which appear in both lists have been published since the manuscript of the book was first completed, now some time ago, for unforeseen difficulties have caused considerable delay in the appearance of the book. I have thus not been able to utilise several volumes which might have been very helpful. Before leaving the subject of authorities I should like to make special acknowledgment of my indebtedness to two works, Dr. Ward's England and Hanover and Mr. Fisher's Napoleonic S tatesmam/zz'p Germany, the first of which I have found exceptionally useful when deal ing with the attitude, not as a rule yery rightly represented, ofs England towards Germany in the first half of the period, while Mr. Fisher's book I found peculiarly illuminating on a subject' on which the German authorities I had utilised were copious rather than clear.
