The West Florida Controversy
of 1798-1813
A Study in American Diplomacy
By ISAAC JOSLIN COX
Associate Professor of History, University of Cincinnati
702 pages. 12mo. $3.00
This volume has just been published in the series of the Albert Shaw Lectures on Diplomatic History. It is based on lectures delivered in the Johns Hopkins University in 1912, and later revised for publication. The subject involves one of the most intricate problems in American history, and Professor Cox has spared no pains in searching for new sources of information. He has not only availed himself of the collections in Washington and of the material in the Department of Archives and History at Jackson, Mississippi, but he has personally searched the archives at Seville and Madrid.
The volume deals with the secret intrigues of statesmen and diplomats in the capitals of America and Europe on the one hand, and with the aggressive, irresponsible movements of impatient frontiersmen on the other. Professor Cox thinks that the sturdy pioneers of the Southwest outstripped the diplomats, and that their deeds were the decisive factors in the settlement of the long and bitter controversy that was waged over West Florida.

"There is not a chapter in Mr. and Mrs. Hammond's book which fails
to throw new light on enclosures or on the administration of the
