Look, Lehndorff, if Heinrich can outtrash talk Voltaire‘s trashy tell all, it‘s really irresponsible of you not to write those damn anecdotes down! Never mind Heinrich's commentary on Fritz' account of the 7 Years War, we want Heinrich's commentary on Voltaire's memoirs! Seriously. In other news, Heinrich reading Voltaire's memoirs out loud to Lehndorff has to be the most Hohenzollern experience ever.
OMGGGG, we need this! Lehndorff! No Hans Hermann gossip, no Heinrich on Voltaire's memoirs anecdotes...don't you know your duty to posterity?
Heinrich got Fritz‘ permission to finally go to Paris for the first time because Gustav has threatened to visit Berlin again
Love the phrasing here.
wiki? Fontane? - claims she died in the late 1770s
!!! Yes, I thought she had died in 1776! Well. I have added an ETA to the family tree post in Rheinsberg. I'm not redoing the entire family tree until I either have more corrections to make, or I don't have back pain.
He is a telling example of where a debauched life can lead to.
A double chin? :P
October 1784, this is interesting, de Catt is still listed as one of Fritz’ lectors by Lehndorff who evidently hasn't heard about the firing back in Steinort, or during his occasional trips:
Hmm. I do wonder how reliable our source is on the 1782 date.
Lehndorff spots Voltaire‘s memoirs translated into German in the bookshops
Bit of chronology here: the memoirs were published in French in 1784, and were already translated into English and German by the end of the year. That shows you just how popular they were.
I'll say. Mind you, not for much longer. Once Fritz is dead, those memoirs so get on the Prussian index and aren't reprinted in Germany again until the 20th century.
Did not know that!
I always experience a particular sensation whenever I get close to this charming place, when I think of the fact that in an hour, in half an hour, in a quarter of an hour I shall see Prince Heinrich again, who when it comes down to it has been for as long as I can remember the Prince whom I love best.
<333 Aww, Lehndorff.
I suppose his inner loyal subject prevented him from doing so, but never mind, Lehndorff, Fritz can take it!
If Fritz can take Voltaire, Fritz can take Heinrich! Besides, no one's asking you to read your diary out loud to him. Just leave it for us to see in 200 years!
