5 See Schwarzenberg's interpretation of this concept, as reported by Baron Carl Kiibeck von KÜbau on October 11,1851: “Confession by Prince Schwarzenberg that the entrance of all Austria in the German Confederation is a bogey that is not seriously believed.” Friedrich Walter (ed.), Aus dem Nachlaβ des Freiherrn Carl Kübeck von Kübau. Tagebücher, Briefe, Aktenstücke (1841–1855), In Verböffentlichungender Kommission für Neuere Geschichte österreichs, Vol. XLV (Graz, 1960), p. 79. Kübeck's remarks have to be considered with great care, since Schwarzenberg's interpretation was made as an afterthought.

6 See, for instance, Schwarzenberg's struggles to obtain a responsible ministry, as discussed in Helmut, Rumpler, Ministerral und Ministerratsprotokolle 1848–1867.

7 Buol wrote about the detrimental effects of his lack of knowledge in this respect and the difficulties in obtaining insight into other technical matters to which this exposed him in his apologia of July, 1859, which was published in Josef, Redlich, Das österreichische Staats- und Reichsproblem.

10 It should be pointed out that the memoir deals exclusively with Austrian internal affairs and consequently with material that goes beyond the topic to which Austensen has limited his essay.
