	Critical Notes on "The King of Prussia"...
		Lastly, the King’s appetite for interesting and significant phenomena is well known and it must have been a very pleasant surprise for him to discover such an "interesting" and "much discussed" pauperism within his very own frontiers and thus to find yet another opportunity to appear in the public eye.
		The "Prussian" heaps further obloquy on the unpolitical nature of Germany because the King of Prussia has located the cause of pauperism in "failures of the administration or of charitable institutions" and has therefore looked to administrative or charitable measures to provide a cure for pauperism.
		Hence England punishes the poor, the Kings of Prussia exhorts the rich and the Convention heheads the proprietors.
