From 1866 to 1870 he was Bavarian minister of foreign affairs and chancellor of the German empire, 1894-1900. His intimate political association with Bismarck enabled him to contribute much of interest to the story of that statesman's long career and final downfall. "They deserve to take rank among the few personal records left by the actors in great episodes which help to make their genesis and development more intelligible to later times... The book is extremely well translated and is to be recommended without reserve to all students of European history not by reason of any startling revelations it contains...but because it throws much light on a complicated and important series of events and is the record of an upright, courageous and far-seeing statesman."

"Philosophic reflection, political, social and domestic anecdote, scientific speculation, are all intermingled with attractive ease in the correspondence which he professes to have addressed to men of all ranks and degrees of intimacy...
