[Born 1772. Died at Saalfeld, in Germany, 1806. Aged 34.]
A soldier of great distinction, and beloved by the Prussian army. In the
war of 1806, he commanded the advanced guard of Prince Hohenlohe, and
was killed in that year, whilst covering the evacuation of Saalfeld, in
Central Germany. He died bravely. He was of a generous and vehement
nature, a great advocate of the war, and frequently a violent opponent
of the government. He was impatient of the fact, that the accident of
his birth prevented the full exercise of energy and activity, which
meaner men were permitted.
