Excerpt from Frederick the Great and the Seven Years' War

Although this little book is mainly intended for schoolboys, it may perhaps be read by some who will desire a fuller knowledge of Frederick the Great, and of the
time in which he lived, than can be derived from its pages: for the sake of these I propose to mention a few of the best books on the subject. Anything like an exhaustive list of the authorities I have laid under contribution would be out of place, for, as may well be supposed, in the case of events which happened in a period so near to us as the middle of the eighteenth century, the literature of the subject is very extensive. All I offer, therefore, is a selected list containing the books which appear most likely to be of use.

The first to be mentioned is, of course, Carlyle's "History of Frederick the Great," a noble work which is appreciated most by those who know it best.
