  • Brockliss, Laurence W. B.; Eastwood, David, eds. (1997). A Union of Multiple Identities: The British Isles, c.1750-c.1850. Manchester University Press. ISBN 0719050464.:
    Introduces them in the "Early Victorian Wales" chapter and explains how a "Royal Commission to look into the state of education in Wales" was demanded and that it had produced a vast report in three parts and in blue covers, and then talks about them as "the reports" or "the report". After describing their content and the attacks on them and the responses, it then starts calling them the "Blue Books". It then says that the "furore took on the sobriquet of 'Treason of the Blue Books'" after Derfel's play written "only when the quarrel was subsiding". After that it goes back to calling them the "Blue Books" for the rest of the chapter. Indexed solely as "Blue Books".
  • Brooks, Simon (2017). Why Wales Never Was: The Failure of Welsh Nationalism. University of Wales Press. ISBN 978-1-7868-3012-8.:
    It doesn't use the terms "Treachery of the Blue Books" or "Treason of the Blue Books" at all, it generally uses the term of just "Blue Books", which it defines on first use in the section about them as "The Blue Books, the three-part Reports of the Commissioners of Inquiry into the State of Education in Wales, had been published..." In its references section it only ever refers to them as "Reports of the Commissioners of Inquiry into the State of Education in Wales ..." followed by the part number or other qualifier".
  • Carradice, Phil (2011). "c.51 - The Treason of the Blue Books". Snapshots of Welsh History: Without the Boring Bits. Headline. ISBN 1908192445.:
    This one uses a chapter title of "The Treason of the Blue Books" for its coverage and introduces them in the first paragraph in the the first sentence thus: "In the year 1847 the British government commissioned a report into the state of education in Wales" and then then calls them the "Report of the Commissioners of Enquiry [sic] into the State of Education in Wales". The second paragraph starts: "The Report, known throughout Wales as The Treason of the Blue Books" and then uses either the "Report" or "the "Blue Books" for the rest of the chapter, except for the last sentence where it describes how "the sobriquet Treason of the Blue Books" came from the title of Derfel's play of seven years later.
  • Davies, John; Baines, Menna; Jenkins, Nigel; Lynch, Peredur I., eds. (2008). The Welsh Academy Encyclopaedia of Wales. Cardiff: University of Wales Press. ISBN 9780708319536.:
    One of its ~3300 articles is about the reports and their reception - it is titled "Treason of the Blue Books, The" and is indexed as that and as "Blue Books, see Treason of the Blue Books", starts by describing that it was a play satirising the "government's 1847 report on education in Wales", then proceeds to discuss the report. When the report is referenced in other articles in the encyclopaedia, it is mentioned according to context ("the education report of 1847...", "the 1847 education commissioners...", "the three authors of the Blue Books...", etc. and immediately followed by "(see Treason of the Blue Books)" as a redirect to its article. I don't see the word "treachery" used with reference to it at all.
  • Ford, Martyn (2016). "ch. 6 - A Vast Drawback to Wales". For Wales, See England. Amberley Publishing. ISBN 1445658941.:
    Covered in the chapter called "A Vast Drawback to Wales", the reports are introduced as "Reports of the Commissioners of Inquiry into the State of Education in Wales" and said to be "known to posterity as the 'Blue Books'". They are then referred to in the rest of the chapter as the "Blue Books", with neither "Treachery" nor "Treason" being mentioned.
  • Jones, Gareth Elwyn; Roderick, Gordon Wynne (2003). A history of Education in Wales. Cardiff: University of Wales Press. ISBN 070831807X.:
    Indexed as "Report of the Commissioners into the State of Education in Wales (1847)" and with an index entry for "Blue Books" saying "see Report of the Commissioners into the State of Education in Wales (1847)" Neither treachery or treason are indexed. It is first mentioned as "report of the commissioners into the state of education in Wales" and throughout as either that or the "Blue Books".
  • Morgan, Prys (2008). The Tempus History of Wales. History Press. ISBN 075249631X.:
    Introduced as "... the commission on Welsh education in 1846, reporting in the famous Blue Books of 1847", and thereafter, generally as the "Blue Books". It doesn't generally mention "Treachery of the Blue Books", but does say "Nonconformists dubbed this commission 'The Treason of the Blue Books'" and "The sobriquet ‘Treason of the Blue Books’ did not appear until 1854 when Robert Jones Derfel wrote a Welsh play of that title satirising the government commissioners and their Welsh witnesses,..."
