Given Fritz must have known by 1741 that Morgenstern successfully pulled this off with Britain for FW, that trip clearly was a model and precedent, for all that Fritz was big on how different he treated scholars to his father and how his academy actually consisted of world renowned scientists, not court fools.

Exactly. That's fascinating! Everything we learn keeps being related to something else we learn!

He definitely earned his Doctor Philologus!

He did!

This said, I would still someone to counter check whether the Scots would have preferred FW to G1 as heir in Queen Anne's time.

Yeah, that would be really interesting. Perhaps we'll turn it up!
