Here is a brief listing of some of the books and other publications referred to in compiling this site. Much use has also been made of the Internet, but, since websites change and sometimes disappear, these have not been given. Also, innumerable articles downloaded from JSTOR are not, as yet, listed but have been invaluable. Last but not least, the primary source of the British Public Records Office must be mentioned. Many relevant files are to be found in the FO 678 series, but other documents are held in voluminous 'boxes' that require a hands-on search at Kew.
