Unica edizione, assai rara, di quest'opera sulle campagne militari di Gustavo Adolfo di Svezia in Germania nel corso della Guerra dei Trent'Anni. Il volume, apparso anonimamente, è dovuto alle penna di Giuseppe Pecis (Milano, 1716-Cinisello, 1799), poliedrica figura di letterato, scienziato e uomo di governo nella Milano austriaca che tenacemente di adoperò per il progresso civile del paese. Discendente da una famiglia della nobiltà bergamasca e noto al tempo per i suoi versi celebrativi e d'occasione, di cui il prodotto più ambizioso è il poema L'Austriade, celebrazione al limite della piaggeria dei fasti degli Asburgo, il Pecis ricoprì numerose cariche pubbliche, tra cui quella di Podestà della Valsassina e quella, su incarico di Maria Teresa, di Sovrintendente delle acque e strade. Prestando servizio in tale carica egli condusse a compimento il naviglio di Paderno, migliorò il collegamento del Gottardo e creò nuovi accessi alla Svizzera per lo Spluga e l'Engadina e col Trentino e il Tirolo per la Valtellina e lo Stelvio. 1732).
