Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Great Newspapers of Continental Europe, Vol. 1: German Newspapers
The German newspaper is, above all, dignified. In the bet ter class of papers there is a wall between upstairs and down stairs that no gold-laden ass can scale, though he be shod with diamonds; and even the small papers feel it their mission to uphold their party views and to instruct and guide with a seriousness and a disregard of pecuniary considerations that is almost pathetic. There is no such thing as securing attention by scare-heads and articles conforming to the term. While, in order to be talked about, the papers of many countries cut some curious capers during their teething period, the German gazette is as sedate, as ponderous of mien and as poor in matters of news, or, on the other hand, as frivolous and wide awake and bourgeois on its birthday as after a career of twenty years.
