Summary: "[This] book is the first attempt to tell in detail the story of the making of the Peace of Paris. The Peace of Paris was a major event in the history of both Europe and North America. Like the other great peaces of the eighteenth century it was a negotiated, not a dictated, peace and the story of the negotiations is well worth telling ... The results of [the author's] research are embodied in this book, which is a study, not of an episode in the life of a particular statesmen, be he French, Spanish, or English, but of the making of the Peace of Paris. In order to explain the genesis of the final settlement [the author] has very rightly given some account of earlier peace negotiations and of a subject closely connected with them"--Foreword.
