ABSTRACT

The beautiful and intelligent Princess Caroline von Ensbach, one day to

be Queen of England as the wife of George II, met Leibniz in Berlin in

1704 when she was 18. After she went to England with the court, their

friendship continued by correspondence. She tried to persuade her father-

in-law, now George I of England, to bring Leibniz to England, but as we

have seen, the king insisted that Leibniz remain in Germany to complete

the Hanovarian family history.
