THREE:Frederick dispatched messengers to Ohlau to summon the force there to his aid; the messengers were all captured. The Prussians were now in a deplorable condition. The roads were encumbered and rendered almost impassable by the drifted snow. The army was cut off from its supplies, and had provisions on hand but for a single day. Both parties alike plundered the poor inhabitants of their cattle, sheep, and grain. Every thing that could burn was seized for their camp-fires. We speak of the carnage of the battle-field, and often forget the misery which is almost invariably brought upon the helpless inhabitants of the region through which the armies move. The schoolmaster of Mollwitz, a kind, simple-hearted, accurate old gentleman, wrote an account of the scenes he witnessed. Under date of Mollwitz, Sunday, April 9, he writes:How awesome would it be to design, while still a student, the product that would set your entire future up?

THREE:��The king was fond of children; he liked to have his grand-nephews about him. One day, while the king sat at work in his cabinet, the younger of the two, a boy of eight or nine, was playing ball about the room, and knocked it once and again into the king��s writing operation, who twice or oftener flung it back to him, but next time put it in his pocket, and went on. ��Please your majesty, give it me back,�� begged the boy, and again begged: majesty took no notice; continued writing. Till at length came, in the tone of indignation, ��Will your majesty give me my ball, then?�� The king looked up; found the little Hohenzollern planted firm, hands on haunches, and wearing quite a peremptory562 air. ��Thou art a brave little fellow. They won��t get Silesia out of thee?�� cried he, laughing, and flinging him his ball.��194You can now order 3D-printed "trophies" documenting your precise travels in 3D space

THREE:The Austrians retired to Dresden for winter quarters. Frederick was left in the field which he had won. Gradually he withdrew to his old camping-ground at Freiberg, where his troops had been cantoned the previous winter. On the 10th of November, 1760, he wrote from Meissen to the Marquis D��Argens at Berlin:We like seeing designers experimenting with the gradations between two extremes.

THREE:On the 26th of January Frederick set out from Glatz, with a strong cort��ge, for Olmütz, far away to the southeast. This place his troops had occupied for a month past. His route led through a chain of mountains, whose bleak and dreary defiles were clogged with drifted snow, and swept by freezing gales. It was a dreadful march, accompanied by many disasters and much suffering.You can now order 3D-printed "trophies" documenting your precise travels in 3D space

THREE:In the mean time, the queen and Wilhelmina, at Berlin, unconscious of the dreadful tidings they were soon to receive, were95 taking advantage of the absence of the king in seeking a few hours of social enjoyment. They gave a ball at the pretty little palace of Monbijou, on the banks of the Spree, a short distance out from Berlin. In the midst of the entertainment the queen received, by a courier, the following dispatch from Frederick William:489 ��Above fifty thousand human beings were on the palace esplanade and the streets around, swaying hither and thither in an agony of expectation, in alternate paroxysms of joy, of terror, and of woe. Often enough the opposite paroxysms were simultaneous in the different groups. Men crushed down by despair were met by men leaping into the air for very gladness.��You can now order 3D-printed "trophies" documenting your precise travels in 3D space
