A writer in the Pesther Lloyd says
that there are two souls animatipg the
German emperor, which are struggling
for the ascendancy. zone is the soul
OF his ancestor Frederick H., and is in
fuenced by the entire history OF his
house. This soul. had it alone inspired
the emperor. would have made him a
conservative, self-centered. religious
and, on the whole, one-sided prince.
regarding himself as summus episcopus
OF his country's church. as the absolute
chief OF so many legious, and also as
the despotic master OF men, like all
Pwssian kings before him Inc
otter is the soulof modern absolutiSt.
