About this book
The German Emperor as Shown in His Public Utterances is credited to German Emperor William II. The preface says that the present Emperor has always insisted upon making himself the storm-centre of the debates in his Reichstag and among his people, and that up to 1905 he had made upward of five hundred and seventy speeches, and almost as many more since that time. The text says that in 1878, by a curious coincidence, two attempts were made upon the life of Emperor William I, and that Bismarck immediately and easily seized this occasion to crush Social Democracy and increase the imperial power.
One of five speeches delivered on the occasion of the departure of the German troops for China is headed Open the Way for Culture and dated Bremen, July 27, 1900. The text says it will be plain to any one who reads the Emperor's speeches that very few of them are made in South Germany.
