Citation | NYM(G.773.200 18 Oct 1773:21 (1147) [News via London] August 9. Such an aversion has his Prussian Majesty to christianity, that he will not hear any anthems or orations, though music is his favourite study and amusement. Any composer once known to have written for the church, is forever after rejected with "O! this man smells of the church." |
