1778ABC_455321778. Sewn with two small chords in the left upper and bottom corner. Folio. First draft of an autograph manuscript in French with erasures and corrections probably written by a diplomat or strategist concerning the causes of Britains defeat of France in India during the Seven Years War 1756-1763 and analysing different ways to restore France to power on Indian soil by an alliance with the sultan Haider Ali Khan 1722-1782 who ruled Mysore and a large part of southern India and was one of the greatest enemies of the British East India Company.
