public; and was often called to mind by the Reich's Execution
Army's performances, when said SPEEDY Army did at last take
the field.

For the Reich performed its Vote; actually had a Reich's Execution
Army; the last it ever had in this world, not by any means the
worst it ever had, for they used generally to be bad.
Commanders, managers are named, Romermonate are gathered in, or the
sure prospect of them; and, through May-June, 1757, there is busy
stir, of drumming, preparing and enlisting, all over the Reich.
End of July, we shall see the Reich's Army in Camp; end of August,
actually in the field; and later on, a touch of its fighting
withal. Many other things the Reich tried against unfortunate
Friedrich,--gradual advance, in fact, to Ban of the Reich (or total
anathema and cutting-off from fire and water): but in none of
these, in Ban as little as any, did it come to practical result at
all, or acquire the least title to be remembered at this day.
Finis of Ban, some eight months hence, has something of attractive
as futility, the curious Death of a Futility. Finis of Ban (October
14th, already indicated) we may for one moment look in upon, if
there be one moment to spare; the rest--readers may fancy it;
and read only of the actuality and fighting part, which will itself
be enough for them on such a matter.

Four Invasions, from their respective points of the compass,
northeast, northwest, southeast and southwest: here is a formidable
outlook for the one man against whom they are all advancing open-
