Jacob Nicolas Moreau, 1717-1803, French publicist, historiographer of France, and librarian to Marie Antoinette, compiled this volume from the
papers seized by the French after the surrender of Fort Necessity by Washington. The Pièces justificatives included the first
appearance of a translation into French of Washington’s
Journal
, translations of letters of Braddock and other matter.
The work relates to the contested French territory in North America, and was printed and distributed to every court in Europe
by order of the French King to prove the aggressive character of the British.
For a translation into English see no. 1438.
