Note 67 — Chapter XVIII · FREDERICK TRIUMPHANT.

“Huge huzzaing, herald-trumpeting, bob-major-ing, burst forth from all Prussian towns, especially from all Silesian ones, in those June days, as the drums beat homeward; elaborate illuminations in the short nights, with bonfires, with transparencies; transparency inscribed ‘Frederico Magno (To Frederick the Great),’ in one small instance, still of premature nature.”—Carlyle.
