Scope and Contents
The author of the "Analyse du Traité d'Hanovre" contended that the Treaty was illegal, since members of the Holy Roman Empire could not make separate defensive treaties. This tract attacks the logic and law of the Analyse, citing sources; it concerns itself particularly with civil law.
Structure of text: General discussion: pages 1-23 "Remarques sur l'Analyse de l'Article 5": pages 23-24. At the end of this section is an F which may stand for Fin, and a note explaining that it is also necessary to examine Article 2."Remarques sur l'Analyse du Second Article separê': pages 35-48."Remarques sur l'Analyse du troisiéme Article separê': pages 48-63. This is apparently the end of the text, since the foot of the page and page 64 are blank.Incipit: "On volt par l'Article second du Traitté conclu à Hanovre..."Explicit: "Car c'est un Principe du Droit naturel, qui est aussi formellement exprimé dans le sacré Traité de Westphalie, que ce qui est juste à une Partie, l'est aussi a toutes les autres: Quod uni Parti justum est, alteri quoque sit Justum."
