The abundant sources of American diplomatic history have as yet been too little explored : for convenience they may be classified into collections of treaties and documents ; official correspondence ; and private biography, memoirs and correspondence. A. Treaties. On the pre-constitutional treaties affecting American affairs, see a synoptical list in Woolsey's Intentatiojtal Law, 6th ed., pp. 406-408, with a list of the collections of treaties. The following titles are especially serviceable for the diplomacy of the colonial period. George Chalmers, A Collection of Treatys between Great Britain and Other Powers, 2 vols., (London, 1790). Jean Dumont, Corps Universel Diplomatique du Dioit des Gens, contenant un Recueil des Traites, Capitulations Imperiales et Royales, etc., 8 vols., (1726-1731). — Contains documents from 800 A. D. to 1730. Many pieces besides treaties are included. All the texts ex- cept the Latin are translated into French. An alphabetical index to the whole at the end of Volume IIL, supplement. VOL. VI, — 56.
