Guillaume de Lamberty

Guillaume de Lamberty (c. 1660–1733), a journalist as well as Hanoverian agent and correspondent at The Hague from 1706 to 1718, was born in Switzerland to Italian parents. He is most widely known for his fourteen-volume work that still remains useful to historians in the twenty-first century, Mémoires pour servir à l’histoire du XVIII siècle, a collection of valuable diplomatic and military documents on the period of the War of the Spanish Succession and the Great Northern War between 1696 and 1718.
