The Distant War Echoes Through Europe and Asia
A long correspondence laments weak European monarchies and rising despotism in Sweden, Denmark, and the German Empire while praising French liberty. It surveys European nations, their rulers, and revolutions, noting Prussia, Saxony, and Brandenburgh fronts. Reports on Soltikoff, Goltze, Laudohn, and battles near Dresden, Glatz, and Marburgh, with Milan-like intrigue in Amsterdam and Hague dispatches. More letters arrive from Russia and Ruffia, warning of barbarity and ambition shaping history.
