Baron Franz von der Trenck (1711 1749) was an Austrian soldier whose unit is considered one of the worst in modern European history, and that was a law unto itself, taking property, livestock, and women as the unit saw fit. Trenck, imprisoned in 1745, at Glatz under the guard of Heinrich August de la Motte Fouque. The King ordered that Friedrich had to sit on his own gravestone. He escaped in 1746 and obtained employment as Rittmeister of an imperial cuirassier regiment in Hungary. He was later captured on the orders of Frederick II and was sent to the Citadel Magdeburg. In 1763, he was released through the intervention of Empress Maria Theresa. Early American Edition (first?). RAREA1794BDEN - 12/22 FORN-TUB-0075-BB-2504-HKREV777.

The Swiss philosopher Johann Kaspar Lavater repopularized the pseudoscience of physiognomy. Physiognomy is the assessment of people's character based on their outer appearance, particularly their facial features. While criticized by some contemporary writers, physiognomy was enjoyed widespread popularity in the 18th and 19th centuries. The roots of the genocidal impulses of the 20th century rest in the intellectual of foundations physiognomy. Writer Hannah More wrote to Horace Walpole that "In vain do we boast . that philosophy had broken down all the strongholds of prejudice, ignorance, and superstition; and yet, at this very time . Lavater's physiognomy books sell at fifteen guineas a set." (The Cambridge History of Science: Volume 4, Eighteenth-Century Science, ed. Roy Porter) Refs: Garrison-Morton 154 (1772 unillustrated original edition in German). ESTC T139902.
