Book Description
Excerpt from Our Chancellor, Vol. 2 of 2: Sketches for a Historical Picture Germany I have never counselled any other course, than in case of war, to rely exclusively upon the national force of Germany. Even later on libels of the above description obtained currency, and were credited, not only by Progressists and Ultramontanists, but by exalted personages at Court. They owed their origin either to mendacious party-spirit or to the misapprehensions of persons who heard the bell but not the knocker. What follows will enable the reader to get at the exact truth, if he will take the trouble to read it by the light of the fifth chapter (bismarck and Austria) of the preceding volume, in reference to Austrian policy during the Crimean war and to the attitude of the German Central States towards France. The contents of that chapter demonstrate that for some consid crable time Bismarck had been compelled to take a French alliance into his calculations, but had never even dreamt of purchasing France's friendship by a cession of German territory.
