Contemporary account of the War of the Polish Succession, which engulfed much of Europe between 1733-1735 in a power struggle between the Bourbons of France and Spain and the Hapsburgs. The conflict drew in many of the smaller powers. Among its lasting results was the increased dominance of Russia over Polish sovereignty. This edition is complete with seven maps.
