Vol. VI. (of XXI.) by Thomas Carlyle]@TWC D-Link book Vol. VI. (of XXI.) 39/40 A precise strict man, as we saw at the Hanover Council-room lately; whom the Hanover people did not like. Nay at the end of next year (December, 1730), sending in his accounts to Berlin, he demands, in addition to the three thalers (or nine shillings) daily allowed him, almost a second nine shillings for sundries, chiefly for "hair-powder and shoe-blacking"! And is instantly recalled; and vanishes from History at this point. 307, &c.? |
