Excerpt from Bismarck, Vol. 2 of 3: Some Secret Pages of His History, Being a Diary Kept by Dr. Moritz Busch During Twenty-Five Years' Official and Private Intercourse With the Great Chancellor Before resuming the extracts from my diary I beg to be allowed to present the reader with a picture of the house in which the Chancellor resided during his stay in Berlin at the time when I had the honour of working under his instructions, and to add a few words upon the life of which that house was the centre. I purpose to do this in some detail, not omitting even matters of secondary interest, and regardless of the question whether it may be to the taste of certain critics, as I hope the public will come to a very different conclusion, and will welcome my description.
