n the last section, we have C. A.
FYFFE'S _History of Modern Europe, 1792-1878_ (ed. 1895), a very
readable book, which includes the results of some original study, and
SEIGNOBOS, _Political History of Contemporary Europe_, English
translation (2 vols., 1901), an useful but not always accurate book. The
great French work, _Histoire generale du IVe Siecle a nos jours_ (vols.
ix., x., 1897-1898), by numerous authors, edited by MM. Lavisse and
Rambaud, is naturally of varying merit; the chapters on France and
Russia are the best, and there is a very full bibliography at the close
of each chapter. The _Cambridge Modern History_, vol. ix., _Napoleon_
(1906), is a similar compilation by English writers. ALFRED STERN'S
_Geschichte Europas seit den Vertraegen von 1815_ (3 vols., 1894-1901, to
be continued to 1871) is perhaps the best general history of the period
following the great war. _The Memoirs of Prince Metternich_ (5 vols.,
English translation, 1881-1882, edited by Prince Richard Metternich,
extending to 1835) contain much that is valuable for diplomatic history.
For French history see DUVERGIER DE HAURANNE, _Histoire du gouvernement
parlementaire en France_ (1814-1848, 10 vols., 1857-1872), which, in
spite of the title, does not extend beyond 1830. For the Greek revolt,
vols. vi. and vii. of G. FINLAY'S _History of Greece_ (7 vols., ed.
1877) are important. American policy is treated by J. W. FOSTER, _A
Century of American Diplomacy_ (1901). Sir EDWARD HERTSLET'S _Map of
Europe by Treaty_ (4 vols., 1875-1891), while professedly confined to
the treaties dealing with boundaries, contains the majority of those of
general historical interest. It covers the period 1815-1891. LE COMTE DE
GARDEN, _Histoire generale des traites de paix_ (14 vols., 1848-1888,
vols. vi.-xv., extending to 1814), and F. DE MARTENS, _Recueil des
traites et conventions, conclus par la Russie_ (tomes xi., xii.
(Angleterre), 1895-1898), contain the principal treaties belonging to
the period. The _Castlereagh_ and _Wellington_ _Despatches_ have been
noticed under section 3.
(7) For Indian history: JAMES MILL and WILSON, _History of British
India_ (10 vols., 1858), vols. vi.-ix., noticed as an authority for
volume x., ends in 1835; Sir ALFRED C. LYALL'S _Rise and Expansion of
the British Dominion in India_ (1894) contains a brief and masterly
sketch of the subject. See also _A Selection from the Despatches,
Treaties and Other Papers of the Marquess Wel
