[BEAUVAU-CRAON (Charles-Juste de)]. Essai sur la campagne de 1757, pour Monseigneur le Duc d'Orléans premier Prince du sang. [Campagne de l'armée françoise sur le bas Rhin, en Westphalie et sur le Weser en 1757]. [MANUSCRIT]. Sl, sd. In-4, [2] ff. 115 pp. in average, very neat handwriting, with no cross-outs or erasures (approx. 15 lines per page). Red morocco, smooth spine decorated with gilt filleting, triple gilt filleting on covers, gilt edges (period binding). A very interesting account of the operations at the start of the Seven Years' War, which led to the victory of French troops, commanded by Marshal Louis-Charles-César d'Estrées, over those of Hanover and Hesse-Cassel, under the Duke of Cumberland, at the Battle of Hastenbeck on July 26, 1757. The French occupation of the Electorate of Hanover was a direct consequence. Charles-Juste de Beauvau-Craon (1720-1793), Marshal of France and second Prince de Beauvau in 1754, came from the eldest branch of his family and may well have written this succinct memoir of operations in Germany at the start of the Seven Years' War: having entered French service as a volunteer (he was a prince of Lorraine), he was appointed lieutenant of cavalry on December 10, 1738, colonel of the Gardes Lorraines on May 1, 1740, and distinguished himself under Marshal de Belle-Isle at the siege of Prague in 1741. Brigadier on May 16, 1746, maréchal de camp on May 10, 1748, lieutenant-general on December 28, 1758, he was appointed governor of Bar-le-Duc and commander-in-chief of the troops sent to Spain in 1762. Above all, at the head of a large force, he served in the German army described in this memoir, fighting at Hastenbeck (1757), Crefeld (1758) and Corbach (1760). A very fine copy. The morocco binding attests that the manuscript was intended for the Duc d'Orléans.
