Summary
The manuscript contains a very detailed history of the États Generaux, starting from the Middle Ages and explaining the development of this institution through the centuries. The treatise is divided into paragraphs and provided with very detailed footnotes. An existing description of the manuscript ascribes the work to Nicolas Fréret, and Des États généraux and États généraux et particuliers, assemblées du clergé, de la noblesse are listed among his works in the Nouvelle biographie générale. Some important parts of the text are underlined. Pages 429-474 blank.

Historical Data
Nicolas Fréret, a French academien and antiquarian, was born in Paris in 1688. He studied law as a young man, but quit to pursue his studies of history, religion, languages, and mythology. He was admitted to the Académie des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres in 1714. Fréret was committed to the Bastille for three months at the end of the same year after presenting a paper in which argued that the French descended from Germannic tribes, rather than Greece or Troy. He became an associate of the Académie in 1716 and its perpetual secretary in 1742. Frérat was a prolific scholar, writing dissertations on choronology, grammar, philosophy, religion, history, geography, and mythology. He is, perhaps, best known for his Défense de la chronologie against Isaac Newton and his work on mythology. He died in Paris in 1749. Several atheistic or anti-religious treatises, such as Examen critique des apologistes de la religion chrétienne, were circulated under his name after his death and were subsequently printed with the Oeuvres philosophiques de Fréret.
