(Cinquième edition revue & corrigée sur celles de Leipsic & d'Amsterdam.) The Hague, 1779.
A political satire and bibliographical hoax, purporting to be secret papers found; they expose France's motives for aiding the United States and satirize Benjamin Franklin's activities in Paris as well those of English sympathizers with the American cause, etc.
