-- FATHER'S MOTHER.
Friedrich Wilhelm's Mother, as we hinted, did not live to see this marriage which she had forecast in her maternal heart.

She died, rather suddenly, in 1705, [1st February (Erman, p.

241; Forster, i.

114): born, 20th October, 1666; wedded, 28th September 1684; died, 1st February, 1705.] at Hanover, whither she had gone on a visit; shortly after parting with this her one boy and child, Friedrich Wilhelm, who is then about seventeen; whom she had with effort forced herself to send abroad, that he might see the world a little, for the first time.
