An universal history of arts and sciences

Or, a comprehensive illustration, definition, and description of all sciences, divine and human; and of all arts, liberal and mechanical. The origin and progresses of all religions, sects, heresies and schisms. The description of all countries; their government, ecclesiastical, civil and military. Their different climates, soils, products, and the manner of the inhabitants; the different systems of philosophers, curious and accurate observations of astronomers, both antient and modern. The history of all orders, religious and military. With curious and entirely new treatises on the duties of ambassadors and plenipotentiaries, the education of princes and their subjects, and the manner of travelling into foreign parts

The whole extracted from the best authors in all languages, and enriched with the new systems, hypotheses, maxims, and reflections of the author. By the chevalier Dennis de Coetlogon, knt. of St. Lazare, M.D. and member of the Royal academy of Angers
