M. de Luvois, who, probably, wished to despoil M. de Mont-Beliard without undoing his purse-strings, put this overture before the King maliciously, and the King wrote me immediately the following letter: Leave M. de Mont-Beliard alone, and do not speak to him again of his estates.

Accordingly, of cheating contracts, of ministers dabbling with the funds, or extracting underhand profits for the granting of unjust privileges and monopolies, of grasping, envious police restrictions, which destroy the freedom, and, with it, the integrity of commerce, those who like to examine such details may find plenty in French history: the whole French finance system has been a swindle from the days of Luvois, or Law, down to the present time.
I know how to sympatize with Alfred Vargrave when he says to the Duc de Luvois: "Nature is here too pretentious; her mien Is too haughty.
