Passages from public-domain books where Sophia (journal) is discussed.
Administration of the princess Sophia. Extraordinary quarrel about religion. A conspiracy. Such were the steps by which the princess Sophia did in effect ascend the throne of Russia, though without being declared czarina; and such the examples that Peter the First had before his eyes. Sophia enjoyed all the honours of a sovereign; her bust was on the public coin; she signed all dispatches, held the first place in…

names the idea
Any sketch of Leibniz's life, however brief, would be imperfect which did not mention the names at least of two remarkable women,--remarkable in themselves, and remarkable in their friendship with Leibniz. These were Sophia, grand-daughter of James I. of England (and thus the link by which the House of Brunswick finally came to rule over Great Britain) and wife of the Duke of Brunswick, and her daughter Sophia…
