Good bronze Statue of him, by Schlueter, once afamed man, still rides on the _Lange-Bruecke_ (Long Bridge) at Berlin; andhis Portrait, in huge frizzled Louis-Quatorze wig, is frequently met within German Galleries. Collectors of Dutch Prints, too, know him; here agallant, eagle-featured little gentleman, brisk in the smiles of youth, with plumes, with truncheon, caprioling on his war-charger, view of tentsin the distance; there a sedate, ponderous wrinkly old man, eyes slightlypuckered (eyes _b...usier_ than mouth), a face well plowed by Time, and notfound unfruitful; one of the largest, most laborious potent faces (in anocean of circumambient periwig) to be met with in that Century. There aremany Histories about him, too, but they are not comfortable to read. Healso has wanted a sacred Poet, and found only a bewildering Dryasdust. His two grand Feats that dwell in the Prussian memory are perhaps noneof his greatest, but were of a kind to strike the imagination. They bothrelate to what was the central problem of his life--the recovery of Pommernfrom the Swedes.
