[1693] Produced by Colin Bell, Joseph Cooper and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net "Letter from Monsieur de Cros by active 17th century Simon Du Cros" is a political critique written in the late 17th century. This book serves as a rebuttal to Sir William Temple's memoirs, particularly addressing the events that transpired between 1672 and 1679 during King Charles II's reign. The text engages with themes of political intrigue, reputation, and the complexities of diplomatic relationships in that era. In the letter, Monsieur de Cros vehemently defends his own actions and reputation against Temple’s scathing recounting, positioning himself as a key player in the diplomatic negotiations of the time, particularly regarding the Treaty of Nimeguen. Throughout the text, he counters Temple’s claims, asserting his knowledge of the true events and challenging Temple’s self-aggrandizing portrayal. De Cros highlights the supposed inadequacies and failures of Temple, while also elucidating the importance of his own role and contributions to peace negotiations, making clear that he intends to publish his own memoirs to set the record straight. The letter is infused with sharp rhetoric and a sense of urgency, revealing the intense rivalries inherent in the world of 17th-century diplomacy. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
