Notes:

Both volumes with half-titles, general titlepages and volume titlepages, vol. 1 being 'The history of Charles XII' and vol. 2 'The history of the Russian empire under Peter the Great'.

Vol. 1 has an initial leaf entitled 'Proposals for printing by subscription', dated: April 27, 1769; this includes instructions to the binder to discard it.

Originally intended to be part of a 20-vol. set collecting Voltaire's works, to be issued by subscription, a volume a month publishing schedule, but, as the 'Advertisement' at end of vol. 2 states, this plan was in trouble due to a lack of subscribers to finance the remaining volumes. The two volumes were then reissued individually with the general titlepages cancelled.
