Abstract

The present paper contains a slight contribution from unpublished English State Papers to our knowledge of the history and policy of Brandenburg during the first years of the rule of Frederick William the Great Elector: that is, from December 1640 to about the year 1643. The great English historians of the time, Lord Clarendon and Dr. Gardiner, have told us but little of the distant and distracted German March, and our State Papers deepen the impression that in 1640 Brandenburg lay just beyond the horizon of English politics.
