METTERNICH
(Prince Klemens, 1773-1859, Austrian Statesman, guiding force at the Congress of Vienna, 1814-1815)
Fine Autograph Letter, in French with Translation, Signed, addressed to Mr Twiss
saying that he has “received the enclosed letter from the secretary of the Athenaeum. Please tell me what I should reply to him. I am so ignorant of matters of this kind that I must rely on your knowledge. The issues between Berlin and Frankfurt are proceeding, as the public papers show, in a manner that, to my eyes, comes down to a pronouncement on the value or worthlessness of princely sovereignty versus that of the people. As in all things, a side issue is magnified by consequences that are, alas, incidental to the main point; it is the question of Sovereignty that is being contested between King Frederick William and Baron von Gagern with his retinue of professors. What is certain in any case is that there is no middle ground between the two combatants; it is a question of crown or cap. Which side will prevail? I am very comfortably settled here. I have time to myself, and that is all I ask...”, 2 sides 8vo., Richmond, 26th April
