Baron Trenck, Imprisoned in 1745, at Glatz under the guard of Heinrich August de la Motte Fouque. The King ordered that Friedrich had to sit on his own gravestone. In 1746 Trenck escaped. Then, in 1749, he obtained an employment as Rittmeister of an imperial cuirassier regiment in Hungary. He traveled to Russia where he, or so he claimed, became gentleman of the bed chamber in the court of Tsarina Elizabeth of Russia. He fell in love with a married woman, whose name he never revealed. In 1753, he went to Danzig for the funeral of his mother, but was again captured on the orders of Frederick II and was sent to the Citadel Magdeburg. To prevent him from attempting to escape, they fastened his hands, feet, and body with heavy chains and manacles. In 1763, he was released through the intervention of Empress Maria Theresa. During the next ten years he led an active life - writing literature, running a wine trading business, and travelling to England and France. His autobiography (1787) was first translated into English by Thomas Holcroft, an officer of the Royal Artillery. It became popular reading in the late 18th century, and must have been thrilling for its early Amish owner. Evans 27814. EVANS1

Lady Mary Wortley Montagu (1689-1762) English author, noted primarily for these highly descriptive letters. She was the daughter of the first Duke of Kingston. In 1712 she married Edward Wortley Montagu, who became ambassador to Turkey in 1716. On her return to England in 1718 she worked to educate the public in the use of inoculation against smallpox. In 1739 she left her husband and went to live on the Continent. She is also remembered for her quarrel with Pope, who had once been her ardent admirer and who attacked her viciously in his poetry. Horace Walpole disliked her also and depicted her as a greedy, heartless eccentric. However, recent studies have defended her as a brilliant woman struggling for emancipation. Her letters were first published in 1763. Interesting and scarce. W141
