Some argued that the Treaty of Utrecht which ended the War of the Spanish Succession annulled this claim. For them the treaty clearly stated that the crowns of France and Spain remain separate. The anonymous author of the present book does not agree. He supports his claim with an ingenious argument.

But on comparing the translation with the original it was found that much had been omitted; for instance some forty or fifty cases of a highly practical character and much too on the score of treatment. Hence it has been necessary to revise the entire work; and it will be found that the present translation is in fact a new one." - from the Advertisement to the First American Edition.
