Excerpt from Berlin Under the New Empire, Vol. 1: Its Institutions, Inhabitants, Industry, Monuments, Museums, Social Life, Manners, and Amusements The aim the writer has had in View has been to convey an accurate idea - in small matters as well as great - of a city out of the regular highway of continental travel, and which, as the capital of the new German Empire, is destined to increase in interest to the other nations of Europe as well as to exercise a greatly extended influence over the rest of the Fatherland. There is an old proverb which says, Who has not seen Cologne has never seen Germany, but to-day the proverb has lost its significance, as it is no longer the city of the shrines of the Magi, and the eleven thousand martyred virgins, but the whilom capital of the little Mark of Brandenburg and the present chief city of the powerful German Empire which it is necessary a stranger should see. Of the great Germanic body, Berlin is to-day at once the head and the heart, for in all that relates to the new Empire, it is Berlin that thinks.

Excerpt from Berlin Under the New Empire, Vol. 2 of 2: Its Institutions, Inhabitants, Industry, Monuments, Museums, Social Life, Manners, and Amusements The budget having the character of a law, the consent of the three powers, King, Lords, and Commons, is necessary for its adoption, and only one of these three has to oppose its veto to arrest the march of public affairs. This difficulty actually occurred between 1862 and 1866, but a clause of the constitution authorizing the Government, in the event of the budget not being voted in time, to continue levying the taxes in the proportion indicated by the last budget, gave them a terrible advantage. On the other hand, whilst powerless to prevent the Government from levying taxes, the Lower House has the right of forbidding it to spend the money raised, and it was upon this strange contradiction that the whole conflict from 1862 to 1866 turned. The ministry invoked the practice of twelve years, during which period affairs had been carried on for six months of the year without a legal budget, maintained that as the law was silent on the point the absolute power of the King came into force and argued moreover that no branch of the legislature would pretend to arrest the march of public affairs and to bring the various administrations to a standstill by suspending the payment of the functionaries. But these questions were all settled one way, and Count Bismarck summed up the situation of the contending parties when he observed, If a compromise is not effected a conflict will arise, and as the life of the State cannot stand still, the conflict will resolve itself into a question of strength. The one on whose side strength lies will therefore act in the sense he desires. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
