The "Precis du siecle de Louis XV" is Voltaire's vivid and engaging
account of his own era. In this volume, the War of the Austrian
Succession concludes with the victory of Maria Theresa, and France
and England continue to skirmish in the global Seven Years War.
Voltaire then turns his attention to French domestic politics and
the attempted assassination of the king by Damiens, in the context
of the struggle between the crown and the parlement. The text is
supported by extensive notes and variants from manuscript drafts
and significant print editions.
