Das Staatsarchiv — Sammlung der officiellen Actenstücke zur Geschichte der Gegenwart;[3] Archives diplomatiques — Recueil mensuel de droit international, de diplomatie et d'histoire;[4] Albin, Les Grands Traités politiques since 1815.[5]

(b) British:

Rymer, Foedera,[6] and Syllabus to the work by Sir T. D. Hardy, issued for the Record Commission;[7]

C. Jenkinson (later, Earl of Liverpool), A Collection of all the Treaties of Peace … between Great Britain and other Powers from 1648 to 1783;[8]

  1. 8 vols., 1791–1808.
  2. Nouveau Recueil, 16 vols., Nouveau Recueil Général, &c.
  3. A periodical publication since 1861. It is the chief collection for European States as a whole, and is especially designed as a collection of diplomatic documents.
  4. First and second series, 1861–1900; continued thereafter, four volumes being published yearly.
  5. 1910. See also The Great European Treaties of the Nineteenth Century, 1918 (Clarendon Press).
  6. Archiva regia reserata, sive foedera…inter reges Angliae et alios quosvis ab ineunte saeculo XIImo. The work began with the reign of Henry I and came down to 1654. There were subsequent editions which need to be distinguished. Rymer's work was a Government publication, suggested by that of Leibnitz. He was Historiographer Royal from 1692 to 1714.
  7. 2 vols., 1869–72 (vol. i, to 1377; vol. ii, 1377–1654).
  8. 3 vols., 1785. This is the second edition of the work published in 2 vols. in 1772. In the Advertisement (pp. v–vi) to this earlier work it was said: 'A Collection of Treaties was published in the Year 1732; and is now very scarce. The Treaties contained in that Work are not only very irregularly arranged, but upon comparing them with the detached copies published by Authority, were found to be very inaccurately printed; and some Treaties were wholly omitted.' The work of 1732 was in 4 vols.
