The editorial, reprinted here for the first time, was published without Mises’s name, and he was paid $10. B.K. Marcus writes the introduction. FULL ARTICLE

So what happened to the Wilkie copper smithy?
Actually I find Mises a rather poor historian in this case. Friedrich Wilhelm IV was not “insane”, he had become paralysed and incapacitated by a stroke. By the time Wilhelm, the future Wilhelm I of Germany, succeeded him, he was no longer the “cartridge prince” and had the support of many liberal intellectuals.
