New Firebrands - Marginalia on the Tract - Confidential Letters on the Internal Affairs of the Prussian Court since the Death of Frederick II
New Firebrands - Marginalia on the Tract - Confidential Letters on the Internal Affairs of the Prussian Court since the Death of Frederick II is the first collected volume of a political journal issued anonymously in 1807 by the Prussian official Friedrich von Cölln, gathering the first three of the eighteen instalments that eventually appeared under a false Amsterdam and Cologne imprint. Written in the months after the destruction of the Prussian army at Jena and Auerstedt, the three parts combine eyewitness correspondence, polemical essays on the army and the state, fiscal argument, reportage from occupied Berlin, and a register naming the officials who had received confiscated Polish estates.
