Both or the commercial and military nobility. With Reflections on Commerce & Ways to Encourage it. Mahon, De l'Imprimerie française, at the expense of Williams Blakeley, 1756. Interesting collection on the quarrel of the merchant nobility, nicely bound at the time, it contains in particular the two writings at the origin of this polemic born in 1756 with the publication of the abbot Coyer, to which the chevalier d'Arcq, an ardent supporter of the sword nobility, replied.
