". . . Princess Ferdinand Louis (sic). . . was distinguished in her youth for her beauty and her numerous gallantries, and in her old age for her pride. Her Italian singing-master she had filled with so ardent a passion, that he built himself a hut on Vesuvius, to live entirely on the remembrance of her. A Count Schmettau was the declared favorite of her heart. Frederick the Great used to call her children 'the horrible Schmettau race,' for whom his imbecile brother accumulated treasures.
