About this book
The title page gives Book IV of the History of the Thirty Years' War in Germany, translated from the German. The text says the weak bond of union, by which Gustavus Adolphus contrived to hold together the Protestant members of the empire, was dissolved by his death. The Swedish council of state, called on to choose between a doubtful and exhausting war and a profitable but disgraceful peace, boldly espoused the side of danger and honour.
The text says the decease of the king, and the minority of his daughter Christina, renewed the claims of Poland to the Swedish throne. A secret negociation had been carried on with great caution and distrust by Count Kinsky with Feuquieres, the French ambassador at Dresden. The text says the Silesian armies had no authority from their principals to consent, on their own discretion, to such important proposals as those of Wallenstein. Wallenstein had retired to bed when Captain Deveroux appeared before his residence with six halberdiers.
