Arms to the Protestants in Piedmont Valleys News
A controversial letter advocates arming Protestants in the Piedmont valleys to aid their defense against Savoy and French actions. It discusses strategic hopes for morale, supply routes, and potential naval and harbour advantages, while linking the political turmoil to broader European power shifts. The piece also touches on a possible adoption plan for Spain’s new king and praises Queen Elizabeth’s precedent. It ends with a catalog of literature and sale notices.
