About This Book

The diary presents twenty-five years of close official and private intercourse with the Chancellor, offering a running account of his Berlin residence and the foreign office, daily routines, and personal surroundings. It records diplomatic correspondence and dispatches, behind-the-scenes press operations and commissioned campaigns, visits to country estates, and conversations revealing strategic shifts in alliances and attitudes toward parliamentary factions. Observations examine ministerial changes, policy debates over social and religious questions, and portraits of key figures. The narrative combines documentary excerpts with reflective commentary to illuminate practical statecraft and the interplay between public policy and private influence.

Transcriber's Notes

The following changes have been made to the text as printed. In cases of doubt, recourse has been had to the original German work (Tagebuchblätter).

1. Obvious typographical errors have been corrected.

2. Errors in use of quote marks and other punctuation have been corrected.

3. In cases of inconsistent spelling of German and French names, the spelling used in the original language has been preferred. Examples include changing "Frankfort" to "Frankfurt", "Mayence" to "Mainz", "Rheims" to "Reims", "Delbruck" to "Delbrück". However, where the English text is consistent in spelling, that spelling has been retained ("Cologne", "Munich").

4. Where a word is used repeatedly in the same way, hyphenation has been made consistent, preferring the form most often used in the printed work, or failing that the more usual form in general use at the time of publication.

5. Page 85: making capital out it has been changed to making capital out of it.

6. Page 89: at the same recommending has been changed to at the same time recommending.

7. Page 165: sacrificed the Greek element to the slaves. has been changed to sacrificed the Greek element to the Slavic..

8. Page 177: pan-Krutowski has been changed to Pan Krutowski.

9. Page 253: They are diary entries ... has been changed to There are diary entries ....

10. Page 274: Bucher went on say has been changed to Bucher went on to say.
