Famous political pamphlet. First edition. Waller does not indicate a printing place, but refers to the "Matinés du Roi de Prusse" de 1766 and to the "Soirěs ..." (1774). Barbier likewise indicates it is the 1766 works and provides a list of different editions of this pamphlet (reprinted until 1863 and translated into German). The authorship of the Count of Schwerin, who was imprisoned in 1767 by order of Frederick the Great as the author of scandalous libels, has been proposed. According to Sir John Dahlberg Acton (Home and Foreign Review, 1863) this pamphlet has been written by the same Frederick. His politics is so clearly exposed there that Villemessant reprinted it in the "Figaro" in 1871 in an anti-prussian function.
