William of Prussia and His - Beauties" :"
During his fathers life time, he had commenced
the formation of regiment OF tall recruits which he
had been obliged to keep sedulonsly concealed from
the paternal eye. exercising them privately at Mir
tenwalde, and giving orders that should the King
pay one OF his unfequent visits to that place, they
should instantly conceal themselves, and remain
pertus till his departure On Frederic Williams ac-
cesslon he had felt deeply greVed, and astonlshed
tlat the citizens OF Berlin should refuse toreceye his
/ pet giants into quarters among them. The great

turned into parade grounds and here he established
