A DAY WITH FRIEDRICH.

way of finish:--

"Of his Majesty's journey I can give no farther description.
For though his Majesty spoke and asked many things else; it would
be difficult to bring them all to paper." And so ends the DAY WITH
FRIEDRICH THE GREAT; very flat, but I dare say very TRUE:--
a Daguerrotype of one of his Days.


APPENDIX.




This Piece, it would seem, was translated sixteen years ago;
some four or five years before any part of the present HISTORY OF
FRIEDRICH got to paper. The intercalated bits of Commentary were,
as is evident, all or mostly written at the same time:--these also,
though they are now become, in parts, SUPERFLUOUS to a reader that
has been diligent, I have not thought of changing, where not
compelled. Here and there, especially in the Introductory Part,
some slight additions have crept in;--which the above kind of
reader will possibly enough detect; and may even have, for friendly
reasons, some vestige of interest in assigning to their new date
and comparing with the old. (NOTE OF 1868.)
