Excerpt from Notes on the Diplomatic Relations of England and France, 1603-1688: Lists of Ambassadors From England to France and From France to England

T1115 lists which follow have been compiled in order to facilitate the study of the relations of England and France during the Stuart period. The absence of any published lists of English ambassadors anterior to 1790 is a great obstacle to the sys tematic study of the foreign policy of Great Britain. The printed list of ambassadors originally inserted by Beatson in his Polz'lz'm/ [mic-tr, 1806, and continued by Haydn and Ockerby, begins with the year 1760. (see Haydn, Boo/e of Dz'gm'lies, ed. H. Ockerby, London, 1890, pp. 112 It is hoped some time to continue the present list from 1688 to 1760, and also to complete it by adding similar lists dealing with the relations of England to other European states. It seemed desirable, however, to print this as it stands, because it was needed for immediate use by pupils. For their benefit also an attempt has been made to show where the original despatches of each particular ambassador are to be found, and what part of them is accessible in print.
