866 Bibliography of American Diplomacy governments, reports on boundaries, records of commissions, etc., are stored in the archives of the State Department in Washington, where are also many of the public and private papers of Washington, Franklin, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, and some other American statesmen. The use of these archives must of course be very carefully guarded, and none but persons properly accredited are admitted ; and even from them ma- terials which would affect pending negotiations or rouse international ill-feeling are carefully withdrawn. See Schuyler, Atnerican Diplomacy, pp. 38-40 ; Winsor, Narrative and Critical History, VIII. Foreign manuscript collections relative to American history and re- lations are described at much length in Winsor, Narrative and Critical History, VIII. 459-468. Albert Bushnell Hart. Note. — It should have been mentioned on p 766, above, that the French text of the document there printed will appear next autumn in the Life of Jules Simon, now being published by his sons, to whom we are indebted for permission to print this translation.
