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

CHAPTER V
37/46

Wise kindness to Austria had been suppression of this Piece, not bringing of it to Dictature at all: but the new Kur-Mainz, called upon, and conscious of face sufficient, had not scrupled.

"Shame on you, partial Arch-Chancellor!" exclaims all the world.--"Revoke such shamefully partial Dictature ?" this was the next question brought before the Reich.

In which, Kur-Hanover (Britannic George) was the one Elector that opined, No.

Majority conclusive; though, as usual, no settlement attainable.

This is the famous "DICTATUR-SACHE (Dictature Question)," which rages on us, for about eleven months to come, in those distracted old Books; and seems as if it would never end.
