The "Precis du siecle de Louis XV" is Voltaire's vivid and engaging
account of his own era. This third and final volume contains the
full text of the "Histoire de la guerre de 1741", a detailed
account of the war of Austrian succession from the French
perspective and written by Voltaire in his capacity of royal
historiographer. The work was later partially subsumed into the
Precis itself, and has rarely been edited as a separate text until
now. Editorial notes help to place this work in the context of the
later Precis and explain how Voltaire refined his text and altered
his perspective. It provides an invaluable insight into the
evolution of the text into its final form, and sheds light on
Voltaire's working methods and creative process.
