The German Emperor as Shown in His Public Utterances

A compilation of official speeches and pronouncements by the German Emperor assembles his public utterances across his reign, printed in full when possible and arranged chronologically. The collection ranges from addresses on military and naval policy and foreign affairs to domestic concerns such as labor legislation, education, culture, and religion, with occasional travel and ceremonial remarks. Editorial introductions provide context for each address and the volume aims to convey the speaker's language and emphases while tracing the development of policy during the prewar years.
