Gibbon's appointment was approved by the king on June 20, he was notified on July 1, had accepted on July 2, and on the 6th of July was gazetted. The French Exposé to which Gibbon replied is dated the 9th of July. It is not so clear, however, that his work on an earlier state paper did not ante-date the appointment. See Norton, pp. 23-6, and D. M. Low's review in Review of English Studies, XVII (1941), 362.
