Aus Der Zeit Friedrichs Des Grossen Und Friedrich Wilhelms III: Abhandlungen Zur Preussischen Geschichte

In this work, Max Duncker brings together a series of treatises on Prussian history, covering a wide range of topics. In the first treatise, Duncker examines one of Frederick II's earliest writings, published posthumously in 1789 under the title "Considerations sur l'etat present du corps politique de l'Europe." The other topics addressed by Duncker range from the Battle of Kolin to the seizure of West Prussia, Karl Friedrich von dem Knesebeck's mission to Russia, and the period of the French occupation of Prussia. The work thus offers a good introduction to Prussian history.
