...German arms received the lethal blow when the United States declared war. They cannot now help but fail. It has been a boast of the Hohenzollerns that each ruler added some bit to the Prussian land.

One is a work that appeared in 1775 on the Prussian evaluations as used by Frederick the Great, and which was purchased directly after its publication.
