In addition to the entry for Prothero in the Oxford DNB, see those of H. W. C. Davis (1874-1928) and H. W. V. Temperley (1879-1939), which reveal the interest all three had in the Paris Peace Conference of 1919. Both items in good condition, lightly aged. Each folded once. Both addressed to 'Davis'. ONE: 7 November [1921]. 4pp, 12mo. Dictated, and entirely (including signature) in the hand of an amanuensis. He is 'delighted' that Davis will be able to 'write about Temperley & Co.' (Temperley published his six-volume account of the Conference between 1920 and 1924), and will be sending the books as soon as he can 'get the American one which I have sent for'. He will also be sending the number of the Quarterly Review 'containing Satow's Art.' He continues: 'Temperly is certainly rather prickly & was annoyed with something in Satow's paper, & in the end I had to be rather short with him'. He thanks Davis for his enquiry after his health: 'It is not good! but better than it was. I had to spend all last winter abroad which I did not like, & not long after I got back, I broke down again, - but I am pulling round. You see this letter is not in my hand writing, - but it saves time & trouble to dictate.' His Chichele Lectures [delivered in 1920] at Oxford 'are really not fit for publication': they 'want a lot done', but he hopes he 'may be able to publish them some day'. In a postscript he sends belated congratulations to him on his professorship. TWO: 30 March 1922. 2pp., 12mo. Following on from Item One, he begins by informing Davis that the article he agreed to write on the Paris Conference the previous November, for publication that April, is 'too late for this number, which is all in type, & in page, now, but I shd. be glad to know if I may expect it for the July number.' The fact that the article is late cannot be helped, but as 'there have been so many Conferences since that people have ceased to take an interest in Paris', and he thinks the best way to treat the subject is 'to bring it into connexion with the later Conferences, showing how these have grown out of the Paris one, & to confine oneself, so far as the books are concerned, to contrasting the views of Tardieu [André Tardieu, Clemenceau's deputy at the conference] & the Americans with the "official" - or semi-official - Temperley.' He concludes: 'I must not publish more than 6000 words, at most, on the subject, & shd. prefer the art. to be shorter, if possible.'.

George Peabody Gooch, OM, CH, FBA (21 October 1873 - 31 August 1968) was a British journalist, historian and Liberal Party politician. A follower of Lord Acton who was independently wealthy, he never held an academic position, but knew the work of historians of continental Europe. After the First World War Gooch became an influential historian of Europe of the period, and was critical of British policy. He was active in the Union of Democratic Control. For about ten years from the mid-1920s onwards he was involved, with Harold Temperley, in the publication of the official British diplomatic history. The selection of Gooch for this project selection was made over the reservations of Headlam-Morley and of Temperley himself, who believed that Gooch was too committed to a pro-German position and too critical of Sir Edward Grey. Gooch has been noted as a significant revisionist historian of the Europe of the early twentieth century, in particular in relation to the causes of the First World War. He has been described as one of the "early revisionists", alongside Harry Elmer Barnes and Sidney Bradshaw Fay. Reprint. Originally printed in 1933 and 1934.
