SECOND EDITION.

This book opens with a long and interesting preface as well as comments on the works cited in the Spirit of the league, and very complete bibliography on the subject. It includes descriptions of 87 books on ancient history of political turmoil of that period. This story begins with the death of Henry II, the reigns of Francis II, Charles IX, Henri III, Henri IV and the year 1599.

Spirit League is undoubtedly the best work of Anquetil, he had appeared for the first time four years ago in 1767. This second edition is better because it has been corrected by the P. Mercier in many places.
