Remarques
Rare Leyden 4to edition of this highly influencial study of political systems. Wildenberg 1062. Wildenberg states that this work is written by Johan de La Court and not his brother Pieter as is often thought. This copy has a contemp. manuscript note pasted in on first blank stating the same: "Politike Discoursen Beschreeven door Jan de la Court Dog In't Ligt gegeeven door Pieter de la Court." See Wildenberg p.22ff.
