Nevertheless the reader is to note well this Treaty of Warsaw, as important to Friedrich and him; and indeed it is perhaps the remarkablest Treaty, abortional or realized, which got to parchment in that Century. And did succeed in getting Saxony's back broken, if not the bad Neighbor's, in answer to the humor of little Bruhl; unfortunate Saxony to possess such a Bruhl!
Warsaw Union is not worth speaking of; but this other is a Treaty highly remarkable to the reader, and to Friedrich was almost infinitely so, when he came to get wind of it long after. "Treaty which, though it proved abortional, and never came to fulfilment in any part of it, is at this day one of the remarkablest bits of sheepskin extant in the world.
Treaties, vaporous Foreshadows of Events, have oftenest something of the ghost in them; and are importune to human nature, longing for the Events themselves; all the more if they have proved abortional Treaties, and become doubly ghost-like or ghastly.
