'The high quality of the edition, including an annotated index of names and subjects, contribute to a very valuable collection of sources which will be welcomed by all historians interested in Anglo-German perceptions and in the history of diplomatic services in the nineteenth century. The edition of the following volumes is eagerly awaited.' Jörn Leonhard, The English Historical Review

This edition publishes official reports written for the Foreign Office by British envoys to the States of the German Confederation (1815–1866). Volume II covers the period of German Vormärz from the July Revolution 1830 to 1847. All despatches are transcribed and annotated for the first time. The following missions are included: Frankfurt (Diet of the German Confederation), Berlin (Prussia), Munich (Bavaria), Stuttgart (Württemberg), Dresden (Saxony), Vienna (Austria) and Hanover from 1837. The selection presents the pluralistic perception of British diplomats of the political, economic, military, cultural, and social situation in the German states. Furthermore, the edition provides insights into the activities of the nineteenth century British diplomatic service.
