380. LOUIS FERDINAND. _Prince of Prussia._

[Born 1772. Died at Saalfeld, in Germany, 1806. Aged 34.] A soldier of great distinction, and beloved by the Prussian army. In the war of 1806, he commanded the advanced guard of Prince Hohenlohe, and was killed in that year, whilst covering the evacuation of Saalfeld, in Central Germany. He died bravely. He was of a generous and vehement nature, a great advocate of the war, and frequently a violent opponent of the government. He was impatient of the fact, that the accident of his birth prevented the full exercise of energy and activity, which meaner men were permitted. [By L. Wichmann. Bronze. 1822. At Potsdam.]
