Excerpt from George II: And His Ministers
The King of Prussia, although he was a Protestant, was. In favour of the project: his ward was resolute. Her conduct in this crisis has been variously interpreted Addison wrote, Providence kept a store in reward for such an exalted virtue; and by the secret methods of its wisdom, opened a way for her to become the greatest of her sex among those who profess that faith to which she adhered with so much Christian magnanimity.' Gay, in poetical spirit, declared: that she scorned an Empire for religion's sake.' Lord Morley is less romantic: he says that by considering the two religions she lost faith in both. Her biographer, the late M r. W. H. Wilkins, tells us that in consequence of this renunciation she set up for being an authority on theology for the rest of her life. There is no doubt that she retained a marked taste for serious conversation. She continued after her marriage to correspond with Leibnitz on the most abstract sciences, and she kept learned divines on the alert with her in quiries and arguments: Hoadly, Clarke, Hare, and Sher locke are named as her favourite counsellors. In these researches she was not likely to receive sympathy or encouragement from the husband whom she had pre ferred; and as often as her occupation came under his notice he spluttered out his puppies and fools and stuff,' as, it will be seen, he was accustomed to do when ever subjects were discussed that were not of his choosing.
