Excerpt from Frederick the Great, Vol. 1: His Court and Times Tun Author of these volumes, though well entitled from his talents to give to the world any work of his own with his own name, desires to publish them anonymously as to himself, but requested me to become their editor. I consented; for the perusal and re-perusal of the work have given me great satisfaction. I should feel myself degraded to be the editor of any compositionfunlikely to be interesting or useful to the public. If such a production were condemned, the editor would have to bear the brunt and shame of its condem nation. It would not suffice for him to say, I am not the author of the work; for the ready reply would be, No; but you are its Sponsor. True; and if I had had any such fear about these volumes, I should never have made myself their Sponsor. They will speak for themselves.
