Summary "History of Friedrich II of Prussia — Appendix" by Thomas Carlyle is a historical account written during the 19th century, specifically in the Victorian era. The book focuses on the life and reign of Friedrich II (Frederick the Great) of Prussia, highlighting his administrative and military achievements, as well as his interactions with his subjects and his efforts in modernizing Prussia through agriculture and infrastructure improvements. In this appendix, Carlyle presents a detailed account of a day in the life of Friedrich II, dated July 23, 1779. The narrative follows the king as he inspects a region called the Rhyn-Luch, which he had transformed from marshy land into arable territory. The piece is composed through the lens of Oberamtmann Fromme, who accompanies the king on this excursion, providing commentary on their journey, the people they meet, and the agricultural practices observed. Through dialogues with subjects, including local officials and peasants, the reader gains insights into Friedrich's governance style, his inquisitive nature, and his commitment to enhancing the lives of his people through land reclamation and community welfare. The appendix concludes with a reflection on the king's endeavors, illustrating a fascinating portrait of a ruler dedicated to both his state and his people.
