CASE ON BEHALF OF THE GOVERNMENT OF BY HARRISON AND SONS, PRINTERS IN ORDINARY TO HER MAJESTY. PREFATORY NOTE. THE sources from which the documents contained in this Appendix have been obtained are indicated, in the case of the Spanish documents and of a few English documents taken from the British Museum, by side-notes in each case. As in the majority of cases the originals of Dutch documents are in the hands of Her Majesty's Government, no side-notes have been added to them. They are mainly taken from the original series of Essequibo records now deposited in the Record Office on behalf of the Colonial Office in London; a few are taken from the records in the Colony at Georgetown; several from the Rijksarchief at the Hague. As far as possible only material extracts have been given.
