Book Description
Excerpt from The Life of Prince Bismarck During the later fifties, when I visited Germany for the first time, my interest was aroused by the fascination which the name of Bismarck seemed to exercise among the people. From that time until his death I followed his career with admiration, and having gathered a large amount of material relating to it, I finally decided to arrange it in the form of a narrative of his life. Since his death two books have appeared. Many of the statements in the first are surrounded by such probable improbabilities that few people, I should think, will care to preserve it as a credible record of his great life. With regard to the second, while it must always remain sacred to admirers of the hero, and of great value to historians, one cannot but feel that it is the product of a time of life when that clear eye had become somewhat dim, and that strong right hand had lost somewhat of its cunning; or that, at least, the great Chancellor's passionate nature had become so mellowed that much that one would expect to be tersely told is merely pleasantly related, whilst there are complete blanks on matters which it was eagerly expected his book would explain.

Not illustrated. 1899 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER VIIJ THE NORTH GERMAN CONFEDERATION The chief obstacle to parliamentary government in Germany lies in the national characteristic which is called particularism. "Every German," said Bismarck, "has an idea of his own, which he holds on to like a nugget of gold." This prevents their fusing together in political parties, as the English and Americans do, and it is natural that the better educated they are the more prominent this peculiarity appears. The old map of Germany--large states and small states, states separated by other states, and states within states--was a very good picture of the German mind. The tendency of national unity has been to diminish the number of political parties in Germany, but they are still numerous, and their description is bewildering. At the same time the Germans have a national impulse, --an idea of their destiny as a nation, --and this unites them at times, so that they seem to act almost like one man, after which, having accomplished the special work in hand, they relapse into particularism again. This is especially true of the Prussians. After the peace of Prague, Bismarck found his countrymen in this unified condition. The NationaAssembly passed his budget with but few dissenting votesjpd when a committee from the House waited on the king to announce this fortunate event, his Majesty remarked that he hoped that the preceding disagreement between himself and his people would never happen again. It never has happened since, and this goes far to prove that the era when Bismarck first accepted the presidency was a revolutionary one, a bloodless conflict between the people and their government, in which the government for once was in the right, and exceptional measures were justifiable. The army...
