Nouvelle Edition revûe & corrigée. 8 vols. 12mo. " Sully 1560-1641 was an agrarian in the fullest sense of the term. He believed that cattle breeding and agriculture constituted the only true wealth of France. He therefore encouraged land clearing undertook irrigation projects and constructed roads and canals. His principal work was concerned with financial administration. He reconstructed an administration which had been dislocated by 30 yrs of civil war. He established a rigorous control. The economy realized in the reduction of the public debt and in the correction of abuses served to provide for the protection of the national frontiers and to furnish the army with an effective artillery" Encyclopdia of Social Sciences Volumes 13/14 p. 460.
