The statement exactly expresses the ideas on the subject attributed abroad to the Emperor. The distinguished German historian, Heinrich von Treitschke, writes of King Frederick William IV, the predecessor of Emperor William I, as follows: "He believed in a mysterious enlightenment which is granted 'von Gottes Gnaden' to kings rather than other mortals.

For us all, and above all for us princes, he raised once more aloft and lent lustrous beams to a jewel which we should hold high and holy that is the kingship von Gottes Gnaden, the kingship with its onerous duties, its never-ending, ever-continuing trouble and labour, with its fearful responsibility to the Creator alone, from which no human being, no minister, no parliament, no people can release the prince."
