Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Brandenburg and the English Revolution of 1688: Inaugural-Dissertation Zur Erlangung Der Philosophischen Doctorwürde Vorgelegt Der Hohen Philosophischen Facultät Der Universität Freiburg I. B
Nor is his ensuing uncertainty by any means as great. As at times appears. Of his final policy he was no longer in doubt, but there were reasons for appearing doubtful, among them the hope of securing as many French subsidy payments as possible. But there was also the danger of a premature break with France, and the fact that he could do much to hold her in diplomatic play. As to details he could not be certain. He may, for instance, have expected the war to break out earlier. When he seems more impatient than his nephew, it may be because, partly owing to inferior information, he felt thatthe danger to English Protestantism was too real to allow of much delay. It may be that, fearing his son's weakness, he hoped to reap success before his own strength failed. But this should not be confused with uncertainty as to his main position.
