Was absent on n visit to the court
or young Queen Liramon.
Around the ships men crowded close and stared,
And gaping beard. with hearts opprssssd
Strange rumors Of the psrs they had dared
Beyond tho storm-lashed West
To the great hall the Prince when he returned
Was ushered In without delay
To hear the wOnderA which with souls that burned
New hundreds heard each day.
Among the eager eyed. quick. breathing crowd
OF hsarkeninG mobiles gathered there
He sat gray checked and silent his head bowed,
One hand upon his hair.
The holy man told. warming a. hs spoke
OF waveless gulfs whore dull suns blaze
or vast, slow rivers, where the mornings broke
Through leagues Of suniit haze.
He told how they had trod hundred lauds
Had crossed sleek seas whose waves are shroudA
Had sailed the ocean where Its margs expands
Into the sunset clouds
How from grim coast under . chill Dali
Oflowering sad cloud unfuried,
Spirits had led him through . cavern hall
Down to the under world.
And on the islands where the blessed are
Whom GOD hath granted not 10 die.
Angels had met thsm who had borne him far
Bsyond the shining SKY.
And thsra IL had been given him to hear
The heavens singing where he trod.
And to stand living without dread o. fear
Before the throne OF God.
And when he paused and quick sigh WsAs R:und
The sad Prince gazing on this face
The glare Of hell and glow Of heaven hae ~ ~nsA
Mused for q little space;
Then asked him. speaking became host
Though in words spoken harsh and faint
What of all sights he vet remembered most;
And the stern. solemn saint
Eyeing the locket on the Princes breast
Replied: "Throughout all time 1t seems
No memory oinEs thought to hoard the best;
But In my days and dreams
"The radiant angel oftenest see.
Her beauty Ike q singing spell.
Blue eyed and Roldsn.hairsd. who unto me
Opened the Eates Of hell"

The third volume OF The Founding of the Ger
man Empire. by HEINRICH vow SYBEI IT.
Y. Crowell & Coz. is devoted to an eucidation
OF the Schleswig- -Holstein question. whose
final settlement in 1864 first disclosed Bis
marck's preeminent ability and paved the way
for Prussian prominence in Germany. OF tho
relations Of schleswig- -Holstein to Denmark
Lord Palmerston used to say that only one
human being had ever understood them, and
he was a German professor who, unluckily.
had died. That professors mantle fell, how
ever. on DR.. Won sybel. who in this volume
unravels the intrcacies Of the problem. though
to do this he is forced to carry us back to
the ninth century and to construct what may
be called q monograph upon the subject We
shall endeaver to present In as few words as
possible q summary Of his data and conclu-
sione. passing rapidly over the early phases OF
the perplexing question. but dwelling at m ore
length upon the incidents which Immediately
preceded the ultimate solution. Those later
incidents make up chapter Of the history Of
this century which no thoughtful person will
neglect. for 1t ia not too much to say that but
for the Schleswig. .Holstein affair Bismarck
would have missed his opportunity. and that
but for his dexrerity In selling and turning It
to account there would have been no K0nig-
gratz. no Sedan. and no treaty OF Versailles.
1t was Prussia's refusal. refusal long planned
by Bismarck. to obey In the matter OF the Baltic
duchies the order OF the Frankfort Diet-sn
order dictated by Austria-that brought ON
the war OF 1866 and its incalculable conse-
Quences.

otherwise sfrete Constitution OF the Es-
tates. exercised the privilege OF assent In the
matter Of taxation. The connection Of the
duchies with Germany was reestablished
when. after the downfall OF Napoleon, the Con-
eress Of Vienna undertook Redistribution OF
Europe. Frederick VI WINS deprived OF Nor
way. receiving In return only the little Duchy
OF Lauen',urR. and as the representative Of
Holstein and LauenburR was obliged to enter
the German confederation OF 1878 Neverthe-
less. he found somo compensation in the COM
pulsory connection with his overshadowlnR
neighbor. The reactlonary principles estab-
blished throuRhout Germany by Metternich
were unfavorabls to Holstein's reassertion
OF her constitutional rights To the complaint
OF the Holsteiners that their ancient privi-
leRes were violated. tho Confederate Dict
refused to listen. and for fifteen years the
duchies were subjected to a regime OF
patriarchal absolutism. In 1880. however
tho French revolution provoked popu.
lar uprising in Scheswig- Hosten as well as
Germany. and tho Danish sovereign felt con-
strained to mako some concessions to his Ger
man subjects Yet he refused to restore the old
common Estates OF Schleswig II Holstein. and
instead created In 1881 q separate Legisla-
ture for each province. The aim OF this ar
raugement-tho divorce OF duchies united In
race. language. traditions. and feolings-was
imperfectly fulfilled. AS matter OF fact. not

place In which q reunion o: the duchies was
not strenuously advocated. To such a re-
union the Danish King was veg much op-
posed for the reason that the constitutional
question seemed to To about to be complicated
with the que .tion Of succession. In all human
probability. the extinction Of tho royal malo
line OF Denmark was at hand In the event OF
such extinction IL was tho opinion Of most
Holsteiners that different law OF succession
would obtain for the duchics from that OF tho
Danish Crown,

1t Is also important to know that for several
centuries before 17l2 there had boon in force
In the duchics Constitution which assured to
them common Chamber 81 Peers, o common
Diot. common supremo administration. o
common systom OF justice. and a common cit
izenship. As opposed 10 tho royal authority
the Diet had the right OF refusing supplies and
OF giving its concurrence in tho declaration OF
war: tho King had but q limited control over
military service: strangers were excluded
from Hli tho offices. and the native Govorn ment
OF tho country was endowed with tho full
powers OF q regency In the absence OF tho
King-Duke. In word. tho position OF Sches-
wig Holstein uis-d-pis of Denmark and the
common sovereign was almost exactly aualo-
sGus to that OF Scotland during the century
which intervened between the accession Of the
House OF Stuart to the English crown and the
act OF union carriodin tho reign OF Anue.

In the ninth century. whilo the Carlovigians
maintained in Germany the shadow OF i'm
perial rule, SchleswIg had become a rart OF
Denmark. and so continued for nearly five
hundred years. After tho beginning OF tho
fourteenth century-that century which wit
messed in Germany the rise OF the House OF
observation-disclosures became filed with a
German population and eventually entered
into an intimate union with the Duchy OF Hol-
stein. which Immediately adioined 1t on the
south. When. In 1460. the two together called
tho Danish King TO reign over them, 1t had not
becn as King OF Denmark. but. according to
tho expressed wording Of the act OF election.
as lieGe lord OF the countries themselves and
yassal of the Holy Roman empire. From this
point OF view there was no other politi-
cal connection between Denmark and the
duchies than that Of personal union.
The Danish sovereign ruled those prov
inccs By an entirely distinct title, just as
the first Stuart reigned In England as
James !. on one ground. and In Scotland ns
James VI. upon another Every attempt OF
Denmark, therefore, to Gltor this original rcla-
tion OF personal union without tho consent OF
the duchies themselves involved an arbitrary
encroachmcnt OF tho strong upon tho weak.
This state OF things. which came into being In
AGO, remained legally unnlterod for 400 years.
and what was truo thor is truo also with ro-
spsct to tho dispute rs Il stood In tho nineteenth
century, 1t was tho misfortune OF the duch-
ies. so far ns European diplomacy was con.
