Oh, funny anecdote. *So many* times, the only hits I could get for the 18th century spelling I had were Frederick the Great hits. If I hadn't been having fun, it would have been frustrating. As it was, it was just a really super geeky scavenger hunt. :P
Anyway, on one occasion, almost the entire first page of hits was works by or about Fritz, and the first was Carlyle. The blurb Google showed me reads: "Friedrich now has nothing for it but to try if he cannot possibly get hold of Kunzendorf (readers may look in their Map)."
Yes, if only it were still named that, Carlyle! I laughed pretty hard. It reminded me of a touristy t-shirt I got in Bratislava that read, "Where the fuck is Bratislava?"
