Excerpt from The Journal and Correspondence of William, Lord Auckland, Vol. 3 of 4: With a Preface and Introduction by the Right Hon. And Right Rev. The Bishop of Bath and Wells Party, that it was intended to dismember France; and that all the territory north of the Somme was to be united to the Austrian Netherlands. This statement has been denied* by high authority, but it is completely confirmed in this correspondence. It appears that Austria was very desirous of ex changing the Netherlands for Bavaria; she was tired of these distant possessions, which were always bring ing her into collision with France.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Journal and Correspondence of William, Lord of Auckland, Vol. 1 of 2: With a Preface and Introduction The Letters now published have been selected from a large mass of correspondence, public and private, left by William, the first Lord Auckland. Some of them are official, others private and familiar. Man of them were written from Paris in 1786, during the negotiation of the Commercial Treaty with France, in which Lord Auckland bore a principal part. Little apology is, perhaps, required for a publication of this nature, since the Public generally receives with favour whatever, in the shape of contemporary docu ments or family papers, tends to throw light on the history of a particular period. But, from the frequent references made to Mr. Pitt's Commercial Treaty with France in recent debates in Parliament, it has been inferred that a correspondence which describes almost day by day the progress of the negotiation, and gives a lively picture of the actors in it, might, at the present moment, possess a peculiar interest.

Book Description
An in-depth look at the British monarchy that’s “a superb synthesis of historical analysis, politics, and top-notch royal gossip” (Kirkus Reviews). Since William the Conqueror, duke of Normandy, crossed the English Channel in 1066 to defeat King Harold II and unite England’s various kingdoms, forty-one kings and queens have sat on Britain’s throne. “Shining examples of royal power and majesty alongside a rogue’s gallery of weak, lazy, or evil monarchs,” as Tracy Borman describes them in her sparkling chronicle, Crown & Sceptre. Ironically, during very few of these 955 years has the throne’s occupant been unambiguously English—whether Norman French, the Welsh-born Tudors, the Scottish Stuarts, and the Hanoverians and their German successors to the present day. Acknowledging the intrinsic fascination with British royalty, Borman lifts the veil to reveal the remarkable characters and personalities who have ruled and, since the Restoration of the monarchy in 1660, more ceremonially reigned. It is a crucial distinction explaining the staying power of the monarchy as the royal family has evolved and adapted to the needs and opinions of its people, avoiding the storms of rebellion that brought many of Europe’s royals to an abrupt end. Richard II; Henry VIII; Elizabeth I; George III; Victoria; Elizabeth II: their names evoke eras and the dramatic events Borman recounts. She is equally attuned to the fabric of monarchy: royal palaces; the way monarchs have been portrayed in art, on coins, in the media; the ceremony and pageantry surrounding the crown. Elizabeth II is already one of the longest reigning monarchs in history. Crown & Sceptre is a fitting tribute to her remarkable longevity and that of the magnificent institution she represents. “Crown & Sceptre brings us in short, vivid chapters from William the Conqueror to Elizabeth herself, much of it constituting a dark record of bumping off adversaries, rivals and spouses, confiscating vast estates and military invasions…. [A] lucid, character-rich book.” —Minneapolis Star-Tribune “Borman’s deep understanding of English royalty shines.” —Chris Schluep, Amazon Editors’ Picks, The Best History Books of February 2022
