court (Gewerbe Gericht). If he wishes recreation, there is the city garden; if he wishes entertainment let him go to the public concert; if he wishes to improve his mind there are libraries and free lectures. And if by rare chance, through the grace of the state's strict sanitary regulations and by thrift and care, he reaches the age of seventy, he will find the closing days of his long life eased by a pension, small, very small, to be sure, but yet enough to make him more welcome to the relatives or friends who are charged with administering to his wants.[21] FOOTNOTES: [1] For a comprehensive description of the German government, see DAWSON, _Germany and the Germans_, Vol. I.

A number of years later, 1904, he published his second sketch, _Ferdinand Lassalle and His Significance to the Working Classes_, in which he shifted his position and assumed a Lassallian tone. This change of mind is typical of the Social Democratic movement toward the Lassallian idea. [10] The law is reprinted in MEHRING, _Die Deutsche Sozial-Demokratie_.
