AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

An improved old edition of Vertot's text (1655-1735), which was his greatest success. The essential content is indeed taken from his History of the Conspiracy of Portugal, extensively revised to appear under this title and serve as a historical work, whereas the original was closer to the conjurations in vogue during the reign of Louis XIV, which mixed romance and the account of real events. This 'revolution' occurred in the 17th century in the kingdom of Portugal. The first impression of this edition, made for the court's bookseller-publisher Pierre Gosse Junior, based in The Hague, is believed to date from 1755 (printed in Paris?).
