Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memoirs of Wilhelmine: Margravine of Baireuth In publishing this translation of these curious memoirs, it will perhaps not be out of place to give some slight account of the personages who play so prominent a part in them. The Margravine Frederica Sophie Wilhelmine of Brandenburg-Baireuth, was the eldest daughter of Frederick William I. of Prussia, and his wife Sophie Dorothea, of Hanover, daughter of George I. of England. She was born at Berlin on the 3rd July, 1709, and was three years older than Frederick the Great, the brother to whom she was so ardently devoted, and over whom she had so great an influence. The love for her brother was the one bright spot in a life whose difficulties and troubles have probably seldom been equalled. Although idolizing Frederick, and foreseeing the greatness he would one day attain, she was nevertheless not blind to his failings. How she suffered with him and through him are most touchingly told in the following pages. Even her marriage hardly lessened the closeness of her intercourse with her brother. She was the only person to whom he ever showed his real nature, and whom he really loved. In order properly to understand this singular narrative it is necessary to realize what the Berlin Court was at that time.
