Thompson and David Widger "History of Friedrich II of Prussia — Volume 16" by Thomas Carlyle is a historical account written during the mid-19th century. The book delves into the life and reign of Friedrich II, also known as Frederick the Great of Prussia, particularly focusing on the years of peace from 1746 to 1756. It explores the themes of governance, military conquests, and personal endeavors of Friedrich against the backdrop of the political landscape of Europe during his time. At the start of this volume, the narrative discusses Friedrich's reflection on his victories and the peace that follows the tumultuous wars. He is portrayed as a king who, having achieved significant military success, now aims to maintain tranquility while engaging in reforms and development within Prussia. The text highlights his plans to establish a residence at Sans-Souci, a symbol of his desire for peace and introspection, while also hinting at the brewing tensions that would soon lead to new conflicts.
