Extract

The following documents illustrate the attitude of Great Britain towards Sweden at the end of Queen Anne's reign and in the first months of that of George I.

George Mackenzie had been from 1710 to 1712 secretary in charge of affairs at Warsaw. His present mission to Russia lasted only till February 1715. References in the dispatches to his ability are not complimentary, and he does not seem to have been employed again.

Captain Archibald Hamilton was perhaps the youngest brother of James, fourth duke of Hamilton, in later life governor of Greenwich Hospital and of Jamaica and a lord of the admiralty. His inglorious experience on the present occasion has been noticed in the introduction.
