Synopsis

Excerpt from The Duke De Choiseul: The Lothian Essay, 1908

The Essay has been slightly altered since it was awarded Lord Lothian''s prize last year. Most of a thesis presented this year in the Final History School has been embodied in Chapter II; and a considerable amount of matter which, in the original essay, was contained in the notes, is now incor porated with the text.

My thanks are due to Professor Gabriel Monod, member of the Institut de France; to Monsieur M. Pallex, of the Lycée louis-le-grand, Paris; to Monsieur Alfred Bourguet, the author of several works on Choiseul''s foreign policy; to Mr. E. Barker, Fellow and Lecturer of St. John''s College, Oxford; and to Mr. W. L. Grant, Beit Lecturer in Colonial History at Oxford, for suggesting several sources of information that I might otherwise have overlooked. I also owe a debt of gratitude to Mr. J. F. Rees, of Lincoln College, Lecturer at the N ormal College, Bangor, for assistance in the re vision of the original essay, and to my father, to Mr. G. D. Brooks, of Worcester College, and to Mr. D. Ogg, of Lincoln College, for help in the correction of the proofs.
