History of Friedrich II. of Prussia
Vol. XI. (of XXI.)

CHAPTER III
14/33

25 (Wesel, 2d Septemher, 1740).] Out of Voltaire's and other people's waste-baskets, it has at length been fished up, patch by patch, and pasted together by victorious modern Editors; and here it is again entire.

The other Narrative, which got into the Newspapers soon after, is likewise of authentic nature,--Fassmann, our poor old friend, confirming it, if that were needful,--and is happily in prose.

[Given in _Helden-Geschichte,_ i.

420-423;--see likewise Fassmann's _Merkwurdigster Regierungs-Antritt_ (poor old Book on FRIEDRICH'S ACCESSION); Preuss (_Thronbesteigung,_ pp.

395-400); &c.
