text_original: It had long been the dream of European diplomacy to erect a stout barrier between France and Germany. The project was particularly near the heart of Pitt, and it was actually accomplished by his disciple, Lord Castlereagh. The latter had intended, as a further guarantee for the security of British interests in the narrow seas, that the King of the Netherlands should marry the Princess Charlotte, the heiress to the British throne.
