Kindly speeches were made by Gneist, Camphausen, Delbr<u:>ck, George von Bunsen, and others all forming a treasure in my memory which, as long as life lasts, I can never lose. My first glimpse of Bismarck was obtained during one of my journeys through middle Germany, about the time, I think, of the Franco-Prussian War.
My life in that country and my reading since have steadily increased this respect and admiration. I noticed on the table a German book which he had just been reading, its author being my old friend Professor Hans Delbr<u:>ck of the Berlin University.
I find in my diaries accounts of conversations with such men as Bismarck, Camphausen, Delbr<u:>ck, Windthorst, Bennigsen, George von Bunsen, Lasker, Treitschke, Gneist, and others; but to take them up one after the other would require far too much space, and I must be content to jot down what I received from them wherever, in the course of these reminiscences, it may seem pertinent.
