January 1799.
1. Began this morning to read the third volume of Buchholz’s History of the Electorate of
Brandenburg. My patience in reading this book has held out beyond my
expectations.— The two first volumes, which I have now read, only bring
down the History to the year 1457 When the sovereignty was established
in the present reigning house— The preceding period is very obscure and
the Events dubious.— The knowledge of such History can be of very little
use.— Spent the Evening at Prince
Ferdinand’s— Casino, with Mlle: de Marwitz, Miss
Hagen and Count
Lottum.— Did not stay to supper.
