Vol. XIII. (of XXI.) 31/32 One of the best, or altogether the best, of Friedrich's excellent little Books written successively (thrice-PRIVATE, could they have been kept so) for the instruction of his Officers. Is to be found now in _OEuvres de Frederic,_ xxviii. (that is vol.i.of the _"OEuvres Militaires,"_ which occupy 3 vols.) pp. 4 et seqq.] Digesting many bitter-enough thoughts, Friedrich has cantoned about Chrudim; expecting, in grim composed humor, the one Consolation there can now be. |
