The History of Charles V is undoubtedly one of the great historical classics of the 18th century, whose model would inspire many imitators, the author seeking to grasp, beyond simple factual history, the historical march of a civilization and its singular spirit. A tableau of the progress of society in Europe, from the destruction of the Roman empire to the beginning of the sixteenth century. The introduction is a précis of the history of the early Christian centuries.

Mocquet, apothecary to the king, obtained authorization from King Henri IV to travel in order to bring back curiosities to supply the royal collections. Over a period of eleven years, Mocquet made six voyages; the first to the western coast of Africa in 1602; the second, to Cape Verde, Brazil on the Amazon and to Guiana (January-August 1604); the third to Portugal and Morocco (April 1605 - March 1606); the fourth to Mozambique and as far as Goa (1610); then, the fifth to Syria and Palestine (September 1611 - July 1612), and the last to Spain, not without bringing back to the king each time numerous curiosities of all kinds, to which the author bears witness. Endowed with profound curiosity, the author's travel narrative is full of singular details and anecdotes. The whole is not without critical spirit, notably on Morocco, and the Portuguese in Goa, or commerce. It is a most agreeable and entertaining account of a traveler from the very beginning of the 17th century.
