Book excerpt: Excerpt from The House of Hohenzollern and the Hapsburg Monarchy As regards Prussia we may speak in a different tone. Here at least we are not restrained by respect for the sacredness of the head of the German Empire. The learned minions on the banks of the Spree may dream of a great Emperor of the house of Borussia and proclaim Prussian hegemony, with all its glorious lordliness, but thus far the long fingers of the Hohen zollern have not yet succeeded in grasping the crown of Charlemagne and dump ing it into the same bag with so many Polish and Saxon jewels. It is true that recently many friends of the Fatherland have desired the enlarge ment of Prussia and hoped to see in the kings the masters of a united Germany.
