[41] He married Philippina-Charlotte, the King of Prussia's third Daughter, in 1733.
[42] This Princess was married to the Prince Royal of Prussia, in 1733.
[43] The Baron having quitted the Service of Wolfembuttle, is actually a Minister of State at Hanover.
[44] The Count de Dehn, after being disgrac'd, went to Denmark, of which he already wore the Order of Dannebrock, and obtained the Title of one of the King's Counsellors of State. From that time he stay'd at his Estate in the Country of Wolfembuttle, till the Year 1734, that the King of Denmark appointed him to go to Petersburg, to fill up the Post of his Envoy Extraordinary vacant by the Death of M. Westphal.
[45] Since the Duke succeeded his Father, M. de Munchausen is become first Minister of State, and manages all the Branches of that Office with that Care and Justice which procure him universal Love and Esteem.
[46] He is at present Marshal of the Court; M. de Miltitz is Great Cup-Bearer, and M. de Rossing Great Huntsman.

[48] The Duke of Blanckenbourg being become Duke of Wolfembuttle, by the Death of his Brother, has scarce made any Alteration in his Court. The Persons who were heretofore his Creatures and Favourites continue in the same Employments. The Dutchess Dowager remains at Brunswic, in the fine House which the late Duke caus'd to be built; and of which the said Prince made a Present to her, with all its rich Furniture. This Princess is immensely rich, and lives with very great Dignity. Her Steward is M. de Wederkopf, who was formerly Privy Counsellor to the King of Denmark, and his Envoy Extraordinary at the Court of France.
[49] The Treasury of St. Dennis, near Paris, boasts also of this Lanthorn; so that Judas must have had at least two Lanthorns.
[50] He died in 1731, as is before observed.
