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.
