Excerpt from The Revolutionary Diplomatic Correspondence of the United States, Vol. 1: Edited Under Direction of Congress

The joint resolution approved on August 13, 1888, under which the following work is printed is as follows:

"Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That there be printed, under the editorial charge of Francis Wharton, the usual number of copies of a supplement to the Digest of International Law, printed under joint resolution of July twenty-eighth, eighteen hundred and eighty-six, and under the same conditions and limitations as are imposed in said resolution, such supplement containing the diplomatic correspondence of the American Revolution, with historical and legal notes; and chat there be printed, in addition to said usual number, two thousand copies for the use of the Senate, four thousand copies for the use of the House of Representatives, and one thousand copies for the use of the Department of State."

In the report submitted to the Senate on February 6, 1888, by the Committee on Printing, on which the above resolution in its original form was based, occur these passages:

"A knowledge of the revolutionary diplomatic correspondence of the United States is essential to the understanding -

"(1) Of our revolutionary history.

"(2) Of the treaties executed during and at the close of the Revolution, which form in a large measure the basis of our international law.

"This correspondence is to be found in part in published memoirs, in part in family archives, in part in the records of the Department of State.

"A portion of the latter records was published by Mr. Sparks, under resolution of Congress of March 27, 1818; but in this publication Mr. Sparks omitted letters and portions of letters tending to show -

"(1) The movement of French politicians in 1776 to supersede Washington by Marshal Broglie.

"(2) The movement by American politicians in 1776-'77 to induce Washington's withdrawal and to have Franklin recalled from Paris.

"(3) The atrocities of British troops and of refugees in the United States put forward by our diplomatists as a claim against Great Britain and a set-off against British claims for indemnity to loyalists.

"Aside from these systematic omissions, important passages were dropped, showing the extent to which the fisheries, prior to the Revolution, were controlled by American fishermen; and, what is still more important, how general was the understanding between the negotiators that the treaty of 1782-'83 was a treaty not of concession by Great Britain, but of partition, under which the United States retained all the territorial rights previously possessed by them in North America when part of the British empire.
