LE TOURNEUR. The Life of Frederick, Baron of Trenck. Translated from the German. Berlin and Paris, Buisson et Maradan, 1788. 3 vol. in-12, brown half calf with small ivory vellum corners, title and greevel pages, red speckled edges (period binding). Some foxing. Three frontispieces, including two portraits of Baron de Trenck (one showing him chained in prison). Frédéric, Baron de Trenck (1726-1794), who had an affair with Princess Anne-Amélie of Prussia, sister of Frédéric II, was imprisoned in 1745. He managed to escape from the fortress of Glatz, taking refuge in Moscow and then Vienna, where in 1749 he received the inheritance of his cousin Franz, after abjuring Lutheranism. He became a captain (Rittmeister) in a cuirassier regiment. Coming to Danzig on family business in 1753, he was arrested by order of Frederick II, and, without trial, spent ten years in the fortress of Magdeburg. He was released in 1763, thanks to the intervention of Maria Theresa of Austria. He returned to Vienna, then moved to Aachen, where in 1765 he married the daughter of the city's mayor. In the early 1780s, following business losses, he returned to live on his estates in Hungary, while traveling in England and France. He made some surprising statements, such as that the privileges of the nobility, of which he was a member, should be abolished. He returned to Paris at the start of the Revolution, perhaps on a mission from Austria as a political observer. He was arrested under the Terror, accused of being a spy for the King of Prussia, and locked up in the Saint-Lazare prison. Despite declaring himself a supporter of the new regime, he was sentenced to death by the Revolutionary Tribunal and guillotined, two days before the fall of Robespierre and the end of the Terror. He is buried in the Picpus cemetery.
