FREDERICK THE GREAT

By Thomas Carlyle

BOOK XXI. AFTERNOON AND EVENING OF FRIEDRICH'S LIFE 1763 1786.

Chapter I. PREFATORY.

The Twelve Hercules labors of this King have ended here; what was required of him in World History is accomplished. There remain to Friedrich Twenty three Years more of Life, which to Prussian History are as full of importance as ever; but do not essentially concern European History, Europe having gone the road we now see it in. On the grand World Theatre the curtain has fallen for a New Act; Friedrich's part, like everybody's for the present, is played out. In fact, there is, during the rest of his Reign, nothing of World History to be dwelt on anywhere. America, it has been decided, shall be English; Prussia be a Nation. The French, as finis of their attempt to cut Germany in Four, find themselves sunk into torpor, abeyance and dry rot; fermenting towards they know not what. Towards Spontaneous Combustion in the year 1789, and for long years onwards!

There, readers, there is the next milestone for you, in the History of Mankind! That universal Burning up, as in hell fire, of Human Shams. The oath of Twenty five Million men, which has since become that of all men whatsoever, "Rather than live longer under lies, we will die!" that is the New Act in World History...
