Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Life of Schiller, Vol. 22
The Rittmeister of his troop became so attached to the brave and enterprising surgeon, that he would not part from him, even making him his companion on a visit to The Hague. Maastricht was at that time closely besieged by the French, when, on 3oth of April, 1748, the peace preliminaries were published at aix-la-chapelle. Schiller, then at Oudenbosch with the so-called Little Army, was afterward quartered with his Rittmeister at Borckel. They came to Lon don together, returning whence, they spent a short time at Amsterdam, at The Hague. In this way John Caspar managed to see a good bit of the world. Most Of his regiment was now disbanded; he felt a longing for home, where in Neckarrems his sister was anxious he should marry the daughter of the resident surgeon there.
