Later I learned that these docu- 'ments generally contain the germ of ‘some future causus belli. The break- ing of a treaty is only a tresh chance to fly to arms. The quarrel seemed to be laid aside. The powers occupied the provinces. and I was again obliged to give up my favorite aspiration to see them once more “for ever together un- divided," as was decreed in 1460! But in spite of the treaty, the situ- tion was not relieved. Patient read- ing of the political press gave me an 'idea of the .shifting condition, but I could hardly believe that war would result. I contented myself with the thought that legal questions could always be settled legally and justly. All these wise ministers, diplomats, Judicious councillors, parliamentarians, and polite monarchs, could surely settle such a trivial point. Thus I was actuated more by curiosity than anx- iety in my research, which I was carefully jotting into the red book:â€" Oct. 1, ’65â€"Imperial Council at Frankfort adopts the following reso- lutions: 1.

My studies of natural science had taught me that such tendencies i could be inherited. On my boy's birth- ‘day his grandfather brought him a sword.
