History of the German People From the First Authentic Annals to the Present Time, Vol. 9 - Paperback

Excerpt from History of the German People From the First Authentic Annals to the Present Time, Vol. 9: Modern Germany; The Rise of Prussia; Foundation of Prussian Power
Prussia, we cling like to the tail Of an eel. The various classes in Prussia, the Rhinelands, and even in the Marches, were neither able nor inclined to fulfill their duties toward the lord Of their country, nor to help him bring about peace, turn contempt into honor, Obtain all possessions, and rejoice in living. One cannot understand the furtherance Of a judicial system, because Of the general confusion Of conditions in the state, and the thorough de pravity Of moral attitudes. There were in the empire only lamentations over injustice, corruption, and partiality Of judges and Officers.
