The political testament OF Freder-

written by Frederick William TV. the
which the monarch had ordered to
be handed 10 each of his successors
on his accession until one of them
should give effect 10 the appeal con

This was that the new occupant OF
the throne should overthrow the con-
sttution before taking the accession
oath The Emperor's grandfather
and father had received ana disre-
garded tie letter. The present Emp
orer went farther. He weighed the
possibility that Some young and in
experienced monarch one day might
receive the letter, Oh whom II would
exercise fatal influence. He felt
said the Kaiser, as if he had powder

rest until tho letter was destroyed
lt was accordingly destroyed by the
Emporer's order.
