The second volume contains a genealogy of the kings of England and a history of the wars between France and England, as well as an inventory of the treaties governing relations between the two countries.

The coat of arms is that of Claude-François de Joly, Baron of Langos, Lord of Lieurrens, Choisi, and Soix, Bailiff of the Pays de Bresse and Bugey, who died in 1641 (BN XLV 1258/1259).
