Side 396 - I have the honour to make the following communication to Your Excellency in order to place on record the undertaking of the Federal/Italian Government regarding the application and interpretation of Article X (formerly Article VIII), of the Brussels Treaty.
Side 429 - I have noticed two things during the three days that I have now been here : first, that no one has any time, and that every one is in a greater hurry than they used to be ; secondly, that individuals seem to have grown larger. Each separate personality is now conscious of his own value. Formerly the individual was oppressed and restricted by the dominant influence of Prince Bismarck, but now they have all swelled out like sponges placed in water. This has its advantages but also its dangers. There...
Side 427 - The Chancellor objected. . . . This friction had considerably disturbed the relations between Bismarck and the Emperor, and these were further strained by the question of the Cabinet Order of 1852.

At the close of the...
Side 489 - Excellencies the contrast between North and South Germany becomes very perceptible to me. South German Liberalism is no match for the young aristocrats. They are too numerous, too powerful, and have the kingdom and the Army too much on their side.
Side 358 - Emperor must not take part in great dinners, but must only dine quietly upstairs with the princes, and then send for the gentlemen to whom he wished to speak to come up to him from the great dinner below. Perponcher also begged me to advise the Emperor to give up Metz for the present, and to go there in October, when it had become cool, from Baden. During the day there was a thunderstorm, which cooled the air, so that in the evening at dinner I saw no occasion to give the suggested advice. After...
Side 11 - I mingled with the crowd and was struck with the interest manifested by the lowest of the people in things military. No trace of the former animosity against the military which used to be noticeable among the lower classes.
