Description
Excerpt from German Life in Town and Country
Iunity, Germany was little more than a geographi cal expression, and more than half a century had yet to pass before the movement which he and countless other patriots, both of the pen and the sword, laboured and lived to advance, took practical form. Only in 1871 did Germany as we now know it become united, but the unity then cemented proved very different from that which most of the national leaders of Arndt''s day anticipated, since the largest of the German States was excluded from the ring-fence which Prince Bismarck drew around the twenty-five sovereignties which still retained their independ ence, and to which, with due regard to the tra dition of the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation, which came to an end in 1800, he gave the name of German Empire.
