These memoirs, written by Chevalier Temple, who was ambassador of the King of England in Holland, begin as the author has just left his official functions; they concern the Dutch War from 1672 to 1678 and the Treaty of Nijmegen which ended it, a treaty which was favorable to France, then master of Europe's destiny. "Ambassador in Holland, author of the Triple Alliance of The Hague in 1668, Temple detests Louis XIV and France, while he fervently admires William of Orange." (Bourgeois & André, Sources VIII, 8247).
