About this book
The Life of the Truly Eminent and Learned Hugo Grotius is by M. de Burigny. The title promises a copious and circumstantial history of the several important and honourable negotiations in which he was employed, together with a critical account of his works, written originally in French. The author's preface wishes that such a celebrated Genius as Grotius had found an Historian equal to his fame.
The text records a resolution to send to Henry, in 1598, Count Justin of Nassau and the Grand Pensionary Barnevelt, to intreat him to continue the war, and not make a separate peace. The text shows Grotius demanding an audience, which he obtained on the 1st of October, 1637, at St. Germains, to compliment his Majesty on the advantages gained in Piccardy and Burgundy and to solicit him to send speedily a powerful force over the Rhine.
