. BIBLIOGRAPHY PRIMARY WORKS MANUSCRIPT MATERIAL Bancroft Manuscript. Manuscript Division, Public Library, New York City: A collection of letters written by George Bancroft to Hamilton Fish, Secretary of State, during the years 1868 to 1871 inclusive, when Mr. Bancroft was serving as American Minister to the North German Union and subsequently as Minister to the German Empire. Some of these letters appear in the published diplomatic correspondence of the United States, Foreign Relations Series, for the corresponding years. J. C. B. Davis Correspondence and Journal, Manuscript Division, Library of Congress, Washington, D. C. "A collection of the diplomatic papers of Mr. J. C. Bancroft Davis, comprising his journal of the negotiations of the treaty of Washington, 1871, January-May (3 volumes) A record of the Geneva Arbitration being four volumes of Davis's diary, copies of correspondence, official and personal, newspaper clippings etc., 1871-1872. The letter-press copy books, A. B. and C., 1872, January-September (3 volumes) and four volumes of Letters received, 1871-1872. (14 volumes in all)" The above is the official description of the whole collection as published in the Handbook of Manuscripts in the Library of Congress, for 1918. For this thesis the author found most valuable the Journal kept by Mr. Davis while Assistant Secretary of State and his correspondence with Mr. Fish, Secretary of State, and with Mr. George Bancroft, Minister to Germany during the same period. Mr. Davis was a nephew of Mr. Bancroft and this close kinship gave to their correspondence a freedom and informality which resulted in very frank comments on international situations and policies-with the result that they throw much light on the relations between the United States and Germany at this period.
