impulsive character of the emperor cannot as yet be generally known. Prince Hohenlohe resigned the chancellorship on the 17th of October 1900, and died at Ragaz on the 6th of July 1901. On the 16th of February 1897 he had celebrated his golden wedding; on the 21st of December of the same year the princess died. There were six children of the marriage: Elizabeth (b. 1847); Stephanie (b. 1851); Philipp Ernst, reigning prince of Hohenlohe-Schillingsfurst (b. 1853), who married Princess Charielee Ypsilanti; Albert (1857-1866); Moritz and Alexander, twins (b. 1862). All other authorities for the life of Prince Hohenlohe have been superseded by the _Denkwurdigkeiten_ (2 vols., Stuttgart and Leipzig, 1906). With the exception noted above these are singularly full and outspoken, the latter quality causing no little scandal in Germany and bringing down on Prince Alexander, who was responsible for their publication, the disfavour of the emperor. They form not only the record of a singularly full and varied life, but are invaluable to the historian for the wealth of material they contain and for appreciations of men and events by an observer who had the best opportunities for forming a judgment. The prince himself they reveal not only as a capable man of affairs, though falling short of greatness, but as a personality of singular charm, tenacious of his principles, tolerant, broad-minded, and possessed of a large measure of the saving grace of humour. See generally A. F. Fischer, _Geschichte des Hauses Hohenlohe_ (1866-1871); K. Weller, _Hohenlohisches Urkundenbuch_, 1153-1350 (Stuttgart, 1899-1901), and _Geschichte des Hauses Hohenlohe_ (Stuttgart, 1904). (W. A. P.; C. F. A.) FOOTNOTES: [1] Through her mother, _nee_ Princess Stephanie Radziwill (d. 1832). Before Prince Wittgenstein's death (1887) a new law had forbidden foreigners to hold land in Russia. Prince Hohenlohe appears, however, to have sold one of his wife's estates and to have secured certain privileges from the Russian court for the rest.
