Scope and Contents
A work intended as a universal history from the earliest times to the French Revolution, but which, from the 11th century onwards, is confined to the history of France. The text begins (folio 28) with a description of the work and material on the planetary system and world geography. It is preceded by geographical and chronological tables (folio 2). The work was compiled while Henry (1773-1820), a French army officer, was a prisoner of war near Jedburgh.
