Summary

Argument that the defensive treaty between France and Austria dated 1 May 1756 was detrimental to the interests of France. This treatise was circulated widely in manuscript during the Seven Years' War and published anonymously in 1778.

Notes

• Ms. codex.
   
• Title from title page (f. 1r).
   
• A note on the title page indicates that this argument was composed and presented after the signing of the treaty in May 1756 and before the invasion by Frederick the Great of Saxony in August 1756 and Bohemia in the spring of 1757; the presence of the note itself, however, suggests that this copy is from 1757 or later.
