Book Description
Excerpt from The Albert Shaw Lectures on Diplomatic History, 1912: The West Florida Controversy, 1798-1813; A Study in American Diplomacy It is to be hoped that the title, scope, and subject-matter of this study will be self-explanatory, and that the notes will prove clear and detailed enough to supply the place of a formal bibliography. But neither text nor notes show definitely my indebtedness to the courteous and efficient aid of a number of individuals who have assisted in gathering material for the volume and in preparing it for the press. To most of these persons I can render only a general acknowledgment; of a few I must make special mention. No detailed study such as is here attempted would be possible were it not for the series of helpful guides published during the last ten years by the Carnegie Institution of Washington. In addition to these printed aids, I have had access to the notes, cards, and manuscript reports belonging to the Bureau of Historical Research of that institution, and have been furnished with extensive excerpts from these sources, and with proof sheets of reports in process of publication. For these and many other evidences of helpful interest in my work, I wish to express my personal thanks to the director of the Bureau, Dr. J. Franklin Jameson, and to his efficient associate, Mr. Waldo G. Leland. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
