ANDREW MITCHELL AND ANGLO-PRUSSIAN DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS

DURING THE SEVEN YEARS WAR

Thesis submitted for the Ph.D. degree

of the University of London

by

Patrick Francis Doran

Queen Mary College

August 1972

This work was submitted in 1972 for the award of the Ph.D. degree of the University of London. In its preparation for publication, fourteen years later, the temptation to amplify and expand has been resisted. Apart from a few stylistic and presentational changes, the thesis is as it was presented.

In the intervening years, a number of studies have appeared dealing with various aspects of the Seven Years War period. Some of them have touched on the theme which is examined here, though none of them has caused me to alter my views.

To preserve authenticity, I have not included these studies in the bibliography, nor have I altered, in the notes, the time-honoured archival attribution of B.M. to that of B.L., now mandatory since the formation of the British Library out of the ribs of the British Museum.

Other changes, more painful and more personal, have been the passing away of individuals whose friendship and advice is now but a treasured memory. I particularly remember here Cecilia, Lady Sempill who so generously made available to me the Craigievar Papers now in the British Library. Her family connection with Sir Andrew Mitchell made tangible the period under review: the plotting of the British envoys campaign journeys during the Seven Years War was given impressive immediacy by being able to do so on the maps he himself had used.

In preparing this work for publication I have been given unstinting assistance by the Office Technology Unit at the National Institute for Higher Education and in my own College by Marian Healy, by Mary OBrien, who transcribed the material onto the word processor, and by Fionnuala MacMahon whose administrative strengths proved indispensible in completing the task.

Finally to my wife, Hanneluise, for her help and advice I once again record my abiding gratitude.

N.I.H.E. Patrick F Doran

Limerick

I wish to place on record my gratitude to the authorities and staffs of the archives and libraries in which I have worked, particularly those of the British Museum, the Public Record Office, the Deutsches Zentralarchiv and the University of London. To the Central Research Fund of the University of London I am indebted for the financial assistance which helped to make possible my researches in the Deutsches Zentralarchiv at Merseburg, and I am grateful to the London Library Trust for enabling me to use the London Library.

I owe a particular debt of gratitude to Cecilia, Lady Sempill for permission to use the Craigievar Papers and for her kindness and hospitality over the years.

While engaged on this study I have been very conscious of the enormous debt owed to those scholars of the past whose labours laid the foundations upon which all who follow necessarily build. In the name of David Bayne Horn, whose encouragement and advice helped greatly in the early stages of this work, I record my gratitude to all of them.

One of the advantages of working on the eighteenth century at the University of London is the opportunity this affords of attending Professor Ragnhild Hattons seminars at the Institute of Historical Research. There, time and time again, temporary discouragement has been swept away by the infectious enthusiasm Professor Hatton brings to scholarly research. For that and her guidance and criticism I am deeply grateful. I wish to thank, too, the members of the seminar and those visiting speakers who have helped me with information and advice, particularly Mr. H. Scott, Mr. G.C. Gibbs, Dr. I. de Madariaga and Professors W. Mediger and M. Schlenke.

Dr. Glyndwr Williams, my supervisor and a wise counsellor, has been kindness and patience itself throughout the long and laboured genesis of this study.

Finally, to my wife, who has not only typed the several drafts of this work but has endured with remarkable stoicism and loyalty the vicissitudes its progress towards completion have imposed, I express my abiding gratitude.

The archives and archival divisions upon whose materials this study is mainly based have been abbreviated in footnotes as follows:
