Excerpt from Mémoires sur l'Avancement Militaire Et sur les Matières Qui S'y Rapportent
Sous le despotisme, qui, comme l'anarchie ui velle tout l'avancement dépend du caprice et du hasard; le soldat peut devenir promptement général ou ministre, sans autre raison de son élévation que la volonté du prince.
