The Project Gutenberg Works of Thomas Carlyle, including The History of Friedrich II. Of Prussia, and Others

The Complete Project Gutenberg Edition

Project Gutenberg Editor's Note

Reproofing this old Project Gutenberg edition of the History of Frederick the Great has been both rewarding and disappointing. Each of the first 21 original volumes had many hundreds of errors corrected—many remain. The editor was fortunate to have a good printed set of all 22 volumes available for reference when there were questions in the etext. The original PG edition had some severe basic problems: two of the most important were first, that the etext was posted in the ASCII character set—a heavy defect in books full of words in German; and second, the footnotes were not marked as such in the etext but rather the footnote material was simply inserted into the main text making it impossible most of the time to tell what is text and what footnote. Another of the peculiarities in this set: many words are a combination of lower and upper case—likely done in the original contributor's print copy for emphasis of certain syllables.
In spite of the many months taken in correcting the 22 volumes, they are reposted with regret they are not better and with the realization the renovated edition is a poor representation of this great work. This reposting I consider an interim step, with the hope another volunteer will someday produce a new PG edition from new scans saved in unicode or Latin-1 with linked footnotes—a project I am unlikely to have time to accomplish.
