Vol. XXI. (of XXI.) by Thomas Carlyle]@TWC D-Link book Vol. XXI. (of XXI.) 1/46 CHAPTER VI .-- THE BAVARIAN WAR. At Munchen, December 30th, 1777, Max Joseph Kurfurst of Baiern, only Brother of our lively friend the Electress-Dowager of Saxony, died; suddenly, of small-pox unskilfully treated. He was in his fifty-second year; childless, the last of that Bavarian branch. His Heir is Karl Theodor, Kur-Pfalz (Elector Palatine), who is now to unite the Two Electorates,--unless Austria can bargain with him otherwise. |
