"If the love of a wife be tempered with a tolerable share of good sense,
she will be sure never to have any private views of her own;
nor do any thing of consequence,
which her husband may possibly dislike,
without consulting him."
No baroque costume drama!
According to him the play won't be a Baroque costume drama. With the play "The mistress of the king," he wants to build a bridge between the past and the present. What August the Strong had moved, also does today and is neither outdated as was his great love for Countess Cosel.

Reis's speaker worked by magnetostriction. In his first receiver he wound a coil of wire around an iron knitting needle and rested the needle against the "F" hole of a violin. As current passed through the needle, the iron shrank and a click was formed. The image shown below is a more advanced version where the iron bar is clamped to a cigar-box-shaped resonator. This receiver is very insensitive. It produces weak sound but has good fidelity. It requires very high current and is a current-sensitive device rather than a voltage-sensitive device.Reis was marginally successful. This instrument could transmit continuous musical tones but produced indistinct speech.

Yes, it's the correct date, no typing error...
I'm happy to announce the birth of my sweet baby boy.
Therefore it will take a little time for me to come back to writing or at least to close the gaps that occured while drafting the next posts. They're here on my laptop, but not yet good enough to be published.
The sitter in the Museum's portrait is making fillet lace, a length of which is attached to the small weighted bundle and to one of the two netting shuttles that she holds. Her scissors and workbag lie on the table. Such objects have been described by Stephen Daniels ["Joseph Wright," Princeton, 1999, p. 13] as “emblems of activity,” typical of a culture in which industrious behavior in the home was admired.
His "Sentimental Tales" appeared in 1770; his "Fables, Sentimental and Moral," and translation of Thomas’s "Essay on the Character of Women," in 1772; and his "Julia," a poetical Romance, in 1774. Other pieces were scattered throughout the periodical works. His success was nevertheless such as to enable him to give up his office at the press, and depend upon his pen for subsistence. After an unsuccessful History of America, he produced, in 1779, the first two volumes of the work by which alone his name has been rescued from oblivion—"The History of Modern Europe:" the three remaining volumes appeared in 1784.
This is a large wall map assembled from 4 sheets (each sheet: 63.5cm x 54 cm), with the title in the form of a large monument in the upper right corner, topped by the arms of George II, King of England from 1727 to 1760, and surrounded by images of British trade, commerce, military might, etc. It includes an inset map of the Scilly Islands, a compass rose and scales of English and German miles. This rare and finely engraved wall map is a revised German edition of Kitchin's largest and most detailed map of the region, originally published in 1777 as South Britain or England & Wales. Besides the roads, political boundaries and topography, it shows sand banks and has a grid of parallels and meridians with a border scale of latitude and longitude, and a key to the symbols for roads and three sizes of cities, towns, etc. (with stars to indicate the number of representatives in Parliament and numbers to indicate the travelling distance from London).
As an official of the Bavarian State and Minister, Johann Maximilian Emanuel von Preysing (1687 to 1764) belongs to the most influential persons of Bavarian politics in the 18th century.Among Preysing's personal papers 38 pocket calendars have survived, which are today held by the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek (shelf mark Cod.germ. 5456). The calendars are specimens of the "Schreib-Calender auf ein besondere Form und Weiß allen Obrigkeiten, Kauff- und Handels-Leuthen, auch männiglich zum täglichen Nutz also eingericht" (calendar in a special form for all authorities, merchants and tradesmen, with facilities for daily use for everyone), which was customary in Bavaria in the 18th century and was published in Munich by the "Kurfürstlicher Hofbuchdrucker und -händler" (book printer and -trader of the electoral court) Heinrich Theodor von Cölln (later on by Franz Joseph Thuille). In addition to the calendar sheets, it contained much information that was specific to the region).The volumes, whose dimensions are approximately 20 x 15 cm, were filled by Preysing with personal notes and appointment dates from 1717 to 1763. The calendars document, albeit with some gaps, more than 40 years of Preysing's life and work.
The Princess Louise Henriette Wilhelmine of Anhalt-Dessau (1750-1811), wife of Leopold III. of Anhalt-Dessau, kept a diary from her childhood until her death. However, not all records have survived, as Louise destroyed complete volumes, especially from the period of her early marital crisis. But before the destruction she made summaries of them and had her private secretary, Friedrich Matthisson, write them down.
The 18th Century was regarded as the "Century of Women". For the first time they stepped outof the shadows of their husbands. This volume of the "Saxony-Anhalt and the 18th Century" series presents life in pictures and comprehensive contributions with respect to the rich diversity of museums in Saxony-Anhalt, about female artists, scholars, nobles, citizens & women farmers.
