Mably had assembled summaries of the major international treaties and agreements of the past century. This was published, with the explanatory notes, in two volumes in 1746, as Le Droit public de l"Europe. It consists of résumés and citations, together with a considerable explanatory apparatus, of the chief international treaties and agreements among the major European powers, from Westphalia onwards. As such, the first edition of the Droit public is a virtual history of international relations from 1648 to 1740. Mably"s handbook was a model of clarity and rational exposition, and it met with instant success, not only in France, but abroad as well" (Johnson Kent Wright, A Classical Republican in Eighteenth-Century France. The Political Thought of Mably, pp. 36-37.).
