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

CHAPTER X
42/86

241-308 et seq.; is by much the most solid Book, though a dull and heavy.

Stenzel cites, as does Hermann, a _Biographie Peters des IIIten;_ which no doubt exists, in perhaps 3 volumes; but where, when, by whom, or of what quality, they do not tell me.

A most placid, solid, substantial young Lady comes to light there; dropped into such an element as might have driven most people mad.

But it did not her; it only made her wiser and wiser in her generation.

Element black, hideous, dirty, as Lapland Sorcery;--in which the first clear duty is, to hold one's tongue well, and keep one's eyes open.
