| | The Almanach de Gotha |
 | | Also to be found in the Almanach de Gotha at this period, were all the details supplied today by diaries, for example, the areas of the principal countries of the world, population figures, the list of the largest towns as well as information on their military strength and their national income. |
 | | In 1780 the Almanach was translated into Italian in Venice, and it was soon seen in the United States of America where the quasiroyalty of George Washington caused the atmosphere, the manners, and customs of the old monarchies to prevail. |
 | | The daughter of the prince of Croy or of the count Erbach might become empress of Austria or queen of Bavaria, but the daughter of a family as distinguished and ancient as that of the prince of Bauffremont, or the daughter of an English duke as eminent as the duke of Marlborough, was not eligible. |
