Note 380 — Chapter XV
Henry Vizetelly translation
Manuscripts of the Imperial Library (500 de Colbert, No. 235, fo. 86 et seq.) This plan has been published by M. P. Clément almost entire in vol. i. p. 41, et seq., of his Histoire de Colbert, and entire by him in the introduction of vol. ii. of the Lettres de Colbert, and in his Police sous Louis XIV., p. 33, et seq. M. Chéruel has also reproduced it entire in Appendix No. vi. of vol. i. of his Mémoires sur Nicolas Fouquet, pp. 488-501. This plan is incontestably authentic, and Fouquet has never denied having written it.
