Gerhard Ritter's biography of Frederick the Great onglnated in a
series of lectures, which were published with scarcely any
revisions in 1936. In this translation, based on the third edition,
published in 1954, Paret has tried to convey the hard and precise
style that characterizes the German text, while eliminating some of
the numerous adjectives and parallel phrases that a lecturer might
have found useful for emphasis but which seem unnecessary on the
printed page. With the author's agreement also excluded is the
brief introduction and epilogue of the original, since they are
addressed specifically to the German reader and to German
conditions. Gerhard Ritter died in 1967, shortly after the
translation was completed.
