Bismarck
Excerpt from Bismarck: His Authentic Biography; Including Many of His Private Letters and Personal Memoranda; Giving Curious Researches Into His Ancestry; Lively Incidents of His Youth and Student Life:
If Bismarck's career is so remarkable in its results, it is even more remarkable in its character. We can comprehend it only by estimating at their full value two distinct, almost antagonistic, elements which are combined in his nature. It requires some knowledge of the different classes of society in Germany, and of the total life of the people, to understand them clearly; and I must limit myself to indicating them in a few rapid outlines.
