1. [Karl Ludwig Pöllnitz,] La Saxe galante (Amsterdam, 1735). K. L. Pöllnitz, Memoirs. Being the Observations He Made in his Travels From Prussia through Germany, Italy, France, &c. In Letters to his Friend, 3d edn., 5 vols. (1745), which TC had assumed was in the original French. TC found it “worth consulting, cautiously, as loose contemporary babble,—written for the Dutch Booksellers” (Frederick, Works 13:184n.). Honoré Gabriel Riquetti, Comte de Mirabeau, Histoire secrète de la cour de Berlin, vol. 3 of Mirabeau's Oeuvres (Paris, 1821). The English trans. was The Secret History of the Court of Berlin (Berlin, 1789). [S. Cocceji], The Frederician Code; or, A Body of Law for the Dominions of the King of Prussia … Translated from the French, 2 vols. (1761). Karl Eduard Vehse. History of Frederick the Great, 2 vols. (1805), untraced and may well be a phantom. The first three works, now HCC, are inscribed “Thomas [or ‘T’.] Carlyle, Chelsea, 1853.” The names following the titles in TC's letter are all London Booksellers.
