Nicolai finishes the volume by dissing Zimmermann's first Fritz publication. From now on, it's war.

I was looking for something else, and what should turn up but Freymüthige Anmerkungen über des Herrn Ritters von Zimmermann Fragmente über Friedrich den Großen by Nicolai. I don't think we've run across them before, and searching "Nicolai" in our library doesn't reveal anything but the recently added 6 volumes of anecdotes. At any rate, they're now in the library. Because what's fun if not a literary war? :D

So to recap, the library now has:

Zimmermann's "Über Friedrich den Großen und meine Unterredung mit ihm kurz vor seinem Tode", 1788, 1 volume.
Zimmermann's "Fragmente über Friedrich den Grossen", 1788, volume 1 only--I may need to track down the rest
Nicolai's "Anekdoten von König Friedrich II", 1788-1792, 6 volumes.
Nicolai's "Freymüthige Anmerkungen über des Herrn Ritters von Zimmermann Fragmente über Friedrich den Groß", 1791-1792, 2 volumes.

I think I'm going to create a separate anecdote folder; the time has come.
