Which latter treaty is dated also November 1st, and was "ratified November 8th." Treaty otherwise not worth reading; except perhaps as it shows us Friedrich putting, in his brief direct way, Kur-Sachsen at once into Austria's place, in regard to Ober-Schlesien.

"Boundary between your Polish Majesty and me to be the River Neisse PLUS a full German mile;"-- which (to Belleisle's surprise) the Polish Majesty is willing to accept; and consents, farther, Friedrich being of succinct turn, That Commissioners go directly and put down the boundary-stones, and so an end.

"Let the Silesian matter stand where it stood," thinks Friedrich: "since Austria will not, will you?
Put down the boundary-pillars, then!"-- an interesting little glance into Friedrich's inner man.

And a Prussian Boundary Commissioner, our friend Nussler the man, did duly appear;--whom perhaps we shall meet,--though no Saxon one quite did.
[Busching, _Beitrage,_ i.

339 (?
NUSSLER).] It is this boundary clause, it is Friedrich's little decision, "Put down the pillars, then," that alone can now interest any mortal in this Saxon Bargain; the clause itself, and the bargain itself, having quite broken down on the Saxon side, and proved imaginary as a covenant made in dreams.
