Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Works of Thomas Carlyle (Complete), Vol. 5: History of Friedrich the Second, Called Frederick the Great The posting of the Five Armies this Winter - Five of them in Germany, not counting the Russians, who have vanished to Cimmeria over the horizon, for their months of rest - is something wonderful, and strikes the picturesque imagination. Such a Chin of Posts, for length, if for nothing else! From the centre of Bohemia eastward, Daun´s Austrians are spread all round the western Silesian Border and the southeastern Saxon; waited on by Prussians, in more or less proximity. Next are the Reichsfolk; scattered over Thüringen and the Franconian Countries; fronting partly into Hessen and Duke Ferdinand´s outskirts: - the main body of Duke Ferdinand is far to westward, in Miinster Country, vigilant upon Contades, with the Rhine between. Contades and Soubise, - adjoining on the Reichsfolk are these Two French Armies: Soubise´s, some 25,000, in Frankfurt-Ems Country, between the Mayn and the Lahn, with its back to the Rhine; then Contades, onward to Maes River and the Dutch Borders, with his face to the Rhine, - and Duke Ferdinand observant of him on the other side. That is the "Cordon of Posts" or winter-quarters this Year. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
