Historical Memoir of the Last Year of the Life of Frederick II, King of Prussia (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Historical Memoir of the Last Year of the Life of Frederick II, King of Prussia As I write only for posterity, I shall suffer no restraint from any public or private consideration. I shall Speak out what others have silently expressed; describe princes as they are, without prejudice against my enemies, or prea dileétion towards those with whom I have been in alliance. I shall only speak of myself, when I cannot avoid it; no man, let him be what he may, can greatly draw the atten tion of future ages. Whilst a King is living, he is the idol of his court; the great offer up incense to him; poets celebrate his name; the people fear him, and have but little regard for him: when he dies, the truth comes out; and envy often retaliates with too much rigour on the disgusting eulogies that ?attery had heaped upon him.

Ewald Friedrich von Hertzberg
Edit ProfileEducation
After 1739 he studied, chiefly classics and history at the gymnasium at Stettin, and in 1742 entered the university of Halle as a student of jurisprudence, becoming in due course a doctor of laws in 1745.
In addition to this principal study, he was also interested while at the university in historical and philosophical (Christian Wolff) studies.
Career
In this capacity he had a decisive influence on Prussian policy, both under Frederick the Great and Frederick William II.
At the beginning of the Seven Years' War (1756) he took part as a political writer in the Hohenzollem- Habsburg quarrel, both in his Ursachen, die S. K. M. in Preussen bewogen haben, sich wider die Absichten des Wienerischen Hofes zu setzen und deren Ausfuhrung zuvorzukommen (" Motives which have induced the king of Prussia to oppose the intentions of the court of Vienna, and to prevent them from being carried into effect "), and in his Mtmoireraisonnt sur la conduite des cours de Vienne et de Saxe, based on the secret papers taken by Frederick the Great from the archives of Dresden.
After the defeat at Kolin (1757) he hastened to Pomerania in order to organize the national defence there and collect the necessary troops for the protection of the fortresses of Stettin and Colberg.
You have made peace as I made war, one against many.
In the later years, too, of Frederick the Great's reign, Hertzberg played a considerable part in foreign policy.
After 1783 these discourses caused a great sensation, since Hertzberg introduced into them a review of the financial situation, which in the days of absolutism seemed an unprecedented innovation.
In 1784 appeared Hertzberg's memoir containing a thorough study of the Furstenbund.
He championed this latest creation of Frederick the Great's mainly with a view to an energetic reform of the empire, though the idea of German unity was naturally still far from his mind.
In 1785 followed "An explanation of, the motives which have led the king of Prussia to propose to the othtr high estates of the empire an association for the maintenance of the system of the empire" (Erklarung der Ursachen, welche S. M. in Preussen bewogen haben, ihren hohen Mitstanden des Reichs eine Association zur Erhaltung des Reichssystems anzutragen).
Though the Furstenbund failed to effect a reform of the empire, it at any rate prevented the fulfilment of Joseph II.
The last act of state in which Hertzberg took part under Frederick the Greatin learning, and, Wilhelm von Humboldt excepted, he was the most learned of all the Prussian ministers.
The most interesting is that of 1784: Sur la forme des gouvernements, et quelle est la meilleure.
He spoke for the last time in 1793 on Frederick the Great and the advantages of monarchy.
Under Frederick William II his influential position at the court of Berlin was at first unshaken.
The king at once received him with favour, as is clearly proved by Hertzberg's elevation to the rank of count in 1786; and Mirabeau would never have attacked him with such violence in his Secret History of the Court of Berlin, which appeared in 1788, if he had not seen in him the most powerful man after the king.
In this attack Mirabeau seems to have been influenced by Hertzberg's personal enemies at the court.
Hertzberg's political system remained on the whole the same under Frederick William II as it had been under his predecessor.
It was mainly characterized by a sharp opposition to the house of Habsburg and by a desire to win for Prussia the support of England, a policy supported by him in important memoirs of the years 1786 and 1787.
His diplomacy was directed also against Austria's old ally, France.
The success of this intervention, which was the practical realization of a pian very characteristic of Hertzberg, marks the culminating point in his career.
But the opposition between him and the new king, which had already appeared at the time of the conclusion of the triple alliance between Holland, England and Prussia, became more marked in the following years, when Hertzberg, relying upon this alliance, and in conscious imitation of Frederick II.
His personal position became increasingly difficult, as deep-rooted differences between him and the king were revealed during these diplomatic campaigns.
Hertzberg wished to effect everything by peaceful means, while Frederick William II was for a time determined on war with Austria.
As regards Polish policy, too, their ideas came into conflict, Hertzberg having always been openly opposed to the total annihilation of the Polish kingdom.
The sameis true of the attitude of king and minister towards Great Britain.
At the conferences at Reichenbach in the summer of 1790, this opposition became more and more acute, and Hertzberg was only with difficulty persuaded to come to an agreement merely on the basis of the status quo, as demanded by Pitt.
The king's renunciation of any extension of territory was in Hertzberg's eyes impolitic, and this view of his was later endorsed by Bismarck.
A letter which came to the eyes of the king, in which Hertzberg severely criticized the king's foreign policy, and especially his plans for attacking Russia, led to his dismissal on the 5th of July 1791.
In 1780 he boldly took up the defence of German literature, which had been disparaged by Frederick the Great in his famous writing De la littirature allemande.

He was a member of the Royal Society.
Connections
In 1752 he married Baroness Marie von Knyphausen, a marriage which was happy, but childless. For more than forty years Hertzberg played an active part in the Prussian foreign office.
