Note A2-3-1 — Chapter III
John J. (John Joseph) Lalor translation
Compare Mengotti: Il Colbertismo (prize essay of the Georgofili at Florence), 1791. If, with H. Leo, we were to designate the whole period from the issue of the struggles of the Reformation to the preparations of the French Revolution as the "age of the mercantile system," Colbert would be a very appropriate type of it.
