Leopold in due force started for Sorgau, himself with Cavalry in the van; Leopold did storm across, and go charging and fencing, some space, on the other side; but, seeing that it was in truth Lentulus, and Dragoons without limit, had to send report accordingly; and then to wind himself to this side again, on new order from the King. What is to be done, then? Here is no crossing.
Friedland is ten miles down the Neisse, which makes a bend of near ninety degrees opposite Steinau; and runs thence straight north for the Oder, which it reaches some dozen miles or more above Brieg. Both Steinau and Friedland are a good distance from the River; Friedland, the nearer of the two, with Sorgau Bridge direct west of it, is perhaps eight miles from that important structure.
The peculiarity of Neipperg at this time is, that the ground he occupies bears no proportion to the ground he commands. He sits like a volcanic reservoir, therefore, not like a common fire of such and such intensity and power to burn; casts the ashes of him, on all sides, to many miles distance. Unluckily, on trying, there is no passage to be had at Sorgau.
