  it。  If this be all; it should not trouble us long。  Germany has
  shown she can be generous; it now remains for her only to forget a
  natural but certainly ill…grounded prejudice; and allow to him; who

  his view; is but as a grain of dust; and the country where he
  reigns has bled on too many august scenes of victory to remember
  for ever a blundering skirmish in the plantation of Vailele。  It is
