Since the 16th century, there had always been a man as head of the House of Austria, and succession had been transmitted from male to male, but Emperor Charles VI had only daughters.

This dissertation originated from three complaints filed against the general assembly of the clergy of France in 1765: the first and most important was the falsification of a text by Saint Paul.

The defense and justification regarding the first grievance occupy 3/4 of the work. The book was written by Monseigneur bishop of Grenoble.
