Please see photos. Jean Roussett de Missy was a French Huguenot writer, from early in life in the Netherlands. He was a renowned historian and author on international law and a prolific journalist. He studied at the College du Plessis in Paris and joined the Dutch States Army during the War of the Spanish Succession. He was present at the Battle of Malplaquet in 1709. He worked together with Jean Dumont de Carelskroon, jurist of Charles IV, Holy Roman Emperor. Rousset emphasized the teachings of Hugo Grotius and Samuel Pufendorf as the importance of voluntary, or secondary international law. After he wrote this book he went on to become involved in the Orangist Revolution in the Netherlands. He was suspected of publishing anonymous pamphlets against the Stadtholderless regime and of leaking diplomatic information, which landed him in prison. He was freed on the order of the newly appointed stadtholder William IV, Prince of Orange, who appointed him his personal historian and councilor. COLH1746AIJA. Seller Inventory # COLH1746AIJA
