Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Vagabond Courtier, Vol. 1: From the Memoirs and Letters of Baron Charles Louis Von Pollnitz
The story of Pollnitz bristles with morals for us moderns or it would not have been written. For, beyond the sunny shallows where he basks, the giddy rapids where he whirls, we hear the thunder of the Niagara of Revolu tion.
For help in tracing his varied career my best thanks are due to the present head of his family, Dr. Max, Freiherr von pollnitz; to the Director of the Royal Prussian Family Archives for hitherto unpublished letters; and also to Mr. A. M. Broadley for generously placing at my disposal many engravings from his unrivalled collection.
