Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from History of Friedrich II. Of Prussia, Vol. 4: Called Frederick the Great Part First of his Britannic Majesty´s Sorrows, the Britannic or Domestic Part, is now perhaps conceivable to readers. Bat as to the Second, the Germanic or Pragmatic Part, - articulate History, after much consideration, is content to renounce attempting these; feels that these will remain forever inconceivable to mankind in the now altered times. So small a gentleman; and he feels, dismally though with heroism, that he has got the axis of the world on his shoulder. Poor Majesty! His eyes, proud as Jove´s, are nothing like so perspicacious; a pair of the poorest eyes: and he has to scan with them, and unriddle under pain of death, such a waste of insoluble intricacies, troubles and world-perils as seldom was, - even in Dreams. In fact, it is of the nature of a long Nightmare Dream, all this of the Pragmatic, to his poor Majesty and Nation; and wakeful History must not spend herself upon it, beyond the essential. May 12th, betimes this Year, his Majesty got across to Hanover, Harrington with him; anxious to contemplate near at hand that Camp of the Old Dessauer´s at Gottin, and the other fearful phenomena, French, Prussian and other, in that Country.
