Memoirs of the House of Brandenburg, and History of Prussia During the 17th and 18th Centuries

This is volume one of a three-volume set. Essential to any study of the rise of Brandenburg-Prussia, the work was based on Ranke's indefatigable research into the original documents of the Prussian archives, and presents the basic starting point for the history of the two Fredericks. This is a reprint of the English translation of 1849 by Sir Alexander and Lady Duff Gordon. This title is cited and recommended by: Books for College Libraries.
