The German Emperor’s Diary

The German Emperor's diary must certainly be one of the great historical treasures of the age. For nearly fifty years Emperor William has carefully noted down with his own hand the chief events of each day—such as interviews, conversations, decisions, political intelligence, and domestic occurrences. Every morning a fresh sheet of folio size is laid upon the Emperor's desk, headed with the date and a sacred text, and the diary already forms several volumes, which are to pass into the Crown Prince's hands. The diary is illustrated by loose sheets, bearing water color pictures of the chief occurrences of the Emperor's life. These are executed by eminent German artists, from original outlines furnished by the Emperor himself.—Selected.
