hed in 1855, is
divided into two parts: (i.) _Scriptores_, of which the 9th vol. appeared
in 1904; (ii.) _Diplomataria et Acta_, of which the 58th vol. appeared in
1906. It covers the whole range of Austrian history, medieval and modern.
Another collection is the _Quellen und Forschungen zur Geschichte,
Literatur und Sprache Oesterreichs und seiner Kronlaender_, edited by J.
Hirn and J. E. Wackernagel (Graz, 1895, &c.), of which vol. x. appeared in
1906. Besides these there are numerous accounts and inventories of public
and private archives, for which see Dahlmann-Waitz, _Quellenkunde_ (ed.
1906), pp. 14-15, 43, and suppl. vol. (1907), pp. 4-5. Of collections of
treaties the most notable is that of L. Neumann, _Recueil des traites
conclus par l'Autriche avec les puissances etrangeres depuis 1763_ (6
vols., Leipzig, 1855: c.), continued by A. de Plason (18 vols., Vienna,
1877-1905). In 1907, however, the Imperial Commission for the Modern
History of Austria issued the first volume of a new series,
_Oesterreichische Staatsvertraege_, which promises to be of the utmost
value. Like the _Recueil des traites conclus par la Russie_ of T. T. de
Martens, it is compiled on the principle of devoting separate volumes to
the treaties entered into with the several states; this is obviously
convenient as enabling the student to obtain a clear review of the
relations of Austria to any particular state throughout the whole period
covered. For treaties see also J. Freiherr von Vasque von Puettlingen,
_Uebersicht der oesterreichischen Staatsvertraege seit Maria Theresa bis
auf die neueste Zeit_ (Vienna, 1868); and L. Bittner, _Chronologisches
Verzeichnis der oesterreichischen Staatsvertraege_ (Band G, 1526-1723,
Vienna, 1903).

2. _Works_.--(a) _General._ Archdeacon William Coxe's _History of the House
of Austria, 1218-1792_ (3 vols., London, 1817), with its continuation by W.
Kelly (London, 1853; new edition, 1873), remains the only general history
of Austria in the English language. It has, of course, long been superseded
as a result of the research indicated above. The amount of work that has
been devoted to this subject since Coxe's time will be seen from the
following list of books, which are given in the chronological order of
their publication:--J. Majlath, _Geschichte des oesterreichischen
Kaiserstaates_ (5 vols., Hamburg, 1834-1850); Count F. von Hartig, _Genesis
der Revolution in Oesterreich im Jahre 1848_ (Leipzig, 1851; 3rd ed
