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.
