"The Austrian Government, and Kaiser Karl's in particular, is not
to be called an intentionally unjust one; the contrary, I rather
find; but it is, beyond others, ponderous; based broad on such
multiplex formalities, old habitudes; and GRAVITATION has a great
power over it. In brief, Official human nature, with the best of

passive and silent. The Jesuit-Priest kind are clear in their minds
