and there is not the least distinct account to be had of any of
them." [For Browne see "Anonymous of Hamburg" (so I have had to
label a J.F.S. Geschichte des &c. --in fact,
History of Seven-Years War, in successive volumes, done chiefly by
the scissors; Leipzig and Frankfurt, 1759, et seqq.), i. 123-131
n.: elaborate Note of eight pages there; intimating withal that he,
J.F.S., wrote the "Life of Browne," a Book I
had in vain sought for; and can now guess to consist of those same
elaborate eight pages, PLUS water and lathering to the due amount.
Anonymous "of Hamburg" I call my J.F.S.,--having fished him out of
the dust-abysses in that City: a very poor take; yet worth citing
sometimes, being authentic, as even the darkest Germans generally
are.--For a glimpse of LACY (the Elder Lacy) see Busching,
Beitrage, vi. 162.--For WALLIS (tombstone Note on
Wallis) see (among others who are copious in that kind of article,
and keep large sacks of it, in admired disorder) Anonymous
Seyfarth, Geschichte Friedrichs des Andern
(Leipzig, 1784-1788), i. 112 n.; and Anonymous, Leben der
&c. Marie Theresie (Leipzig, 1781), 27 n.: laboriously
authentic Books both; essentialy DICTIONARIES,--stuffed as into a
row of blind SACKS.]

Let us attend his Majesty on the next few marches towards Glogau,
to see the manner of the thing a little; after which it will

main incidents.


MARCH TO WEICHAU (SATURDAY, 17th, AND STAY SUNDAY THERE);
TO MILKAU (MONDAY, 19th); GET TO HERRENDORF, WITHIN SIGHT OF
