Notes
This account draws liberally on S. Lane-Poole, Life of Stratford Canning, 2 vols. (1888). The originals of Canning’s memoirs, which are extensively printed therein, were subsequently lost, along with much of his personal correspondence. E.F. Malcolm-Smith, Life of Stratford Canning (1933) is largely a redaction of the above work. A. Cunningham, Anglo-Ottoman Encounters in Age of Revolution (1993) and Eastern Questions in 19th Cent. (1993) contain essays on aspects of Canning’s career.
