BISMARCK, The Man and the Statesman: Being the Reflections and Reminiscences of Otto, Prince von Bismarck, Written and Dictated by Himself after his Retirement from Office. Translated from the German under the Supervision of A. J. Butler, late Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge. Two Vols. With Two Photogravure Portraits. 8vo, Cloth, Ornamental, Uncut Edges and Gilt Tops, $7 50.
In his reflections and reminiscences, Prince Bismarck presents himself in the more familiar garb of polite society, with the polished manner of a man of the world, keeping his tongue under control, a great and commanding figure, self-centred and self-restrained, a courtier and a statesman, filling not unworthily with his gigantic personality the world-stage on which he moved.—London Times.
The book is remarkably full as regards internal affairs and especially as regards the influences which prevailed at the Berlin court, as to the characters both of the kings of Prussia and the other men with whom Bismarck was brought in contact, and it contains a minute criticism on the workings of the Prussian and German Constitutions.—London Daily Chronicle.
This is a great work, one of the most important produced in modern times. It is a work gloriously full of great lights, and carries the study of the founding and founded empire and its inner motives on through the Culturkampf down to the last days of the lamented Frederick I.—Independent, N. Y.
