Berichtszeitraum 1715-23; mit interessanten Anmerkungen zum Bank-, Finanz- und Steuerwesen. Die Periode der Herrschaft des Herzogs von Orléans wird auch als Régence bezeichnet. Im Dezember 1715 wurden die Posten der Minister und Staatssekretäre durch Ratsgremien bestehend aus mehreren Personen ersetzt. Hierbei wurde im Gegensatz zur Herrschaft Ludwigs XIV. auch wieder Hof- und Hochadlige und Angehörige des Klerus in höhere Regierungspositionen berufen. Hierin wird ein Entgegenkommen des Regenten gegenüber den sich nach dem Tode des Sonnenkönigs manifestierenden Ansprüchen des Hochadels gesehen. Die maßgeblichen Weisungen der Politik wurden vom Regenten allein bestimmt.
