[LOUIS XIV - Pamphlet]. The Decline of France, and Europe on the Verge of Breaking Its Chains Through the Resolve of the Allies. Regensburg, Felix Constant, 1695. Small 12mo, [1] title leaf, [101] pp. (ch. 1–107). Contemporary green vellum, red morocco title label on the spine. The first section has a rather haphazard pagination, though no pages are missing (the text flows seamlessly): after the title leaf, leaf A2 is paginated 1 on the front and 8 on the back, followed by leaf A5 paginated 9–10 (the pagination continues logically thereafter). A very rare political pamphlet (unknown to the major bibliographers), directed against Louis XIV and published during the War of the League of Augsburg. The author, who remained anonymous, denounces the consequences of the Sun King’s expansionist policy and calls on the coalition of European powers to remain firm in the face of France.
