5 In this report I only wish to call the readers' attention to recent studies and other material about Metternich with which only a relatively limited number of scholars are acquainted. For this reason, books which have already received wide publicity, like Enno E. Kraehe's Metternich's German Policy and Paul W. Schroeder's Metternich's Diplomacy at its Zenith, 1820–1823, are not included here. Nonetheless, a very recent contribution which includes a useful bibliographical survey should still be mentioned: Hilbert, Lothar Wilfried, “Metternich était-il un Europén?”, Synthéses (Brussels), October, 1964, pp. 432441.Google Scholar
