Note 332 — Chapter XVIII
Reading edition
The negotiation was conducted by Count Virri (Duke?) Envoy in England, and by the Bailli de Solar, the Sardinian Minister at Paris, the intimate friend of the Duchess de Choiseul; and that convenience was probably a reason why Lord Bute yielded to the treaty being settled at Paris, though the King of France had offered to treat here vis-à-vis du Roi de la Grande Brétagne. [Vide notes in p. 157 and 160, supra, for more details respecting the part taken by these Sardinian Ministers in the negotiation.—E.]
