Dressler, Friedrich August. Moltke in his home. *$2. Dutton.
7–29134.
A sketch of Moltke written, by a musician. “The book has little to do with the creator of the modern German army. Instead it emphasizes the domestic side of the Field-Marshall’s character, his charming home life, his simplicity and refinement.... We learn to know, not only Moltke more familiarly, but also other Germans—the emperors, Bismarck, Richard Wagner, for instance.” (Outlook.)
“Herr Dressler tells us nothing very new, and a good deal of what he has to say is very small beer, yet his book is interesting because he has excellent opportunities, as a musician in great favour, of observing Moltke in every respect of private life.”

“The book will interest musicians, and also admirers of quiet family life.”

“Herr Dressler’s story, charming in its simplicity and the whole-hearted devotion, is adequately translated by Mrs. Charles Edward Barrett-Lennard.”
