"This is a book apart. Nothing yet published gives so clear and
honest a picture of German mentality. The soul of Germany is laid
bare and the exposure achieved without the slightest pretension.
The character of the Berlin aristocracy is written in every page
of this honest and absorbing document."--_Daily Telegraph._
"Perhaps the most absorbingly interesting war book that has been
written.... Altogether the book is a most remarkable one. The
kind that causes one to forget one's meals and other pleasures
until the last page is read. Princess Blücher has earned the
undying gratitude of her countrymen for her indefatigable work on
behalf of prisoners of war."--_Globe._

"Mr. George Trevelyan has had the honour of writing what must
henceforth be the accepted Life.... Finely written. We only wish
we had space to quote in full."--_Spectator._

administration."--_Morning Post._
"Sir George Kekewich and Anthony Trollope are, so far as we
know, the only permanent officials who have written a book about
their own departments.... Sir George was genuinely interested
in his duties and did well the work which he found to his
hand."--_Saturday Review._
