This article focuses on the book "The Hohenzollerns," by Herbert Eulenberg. The net impression made by this sprightly book is that the twenty-odd rulers of the Hohenzollern family, although exceptionally well endowed with the customary human frailties, have been on the whole somewhat maligned. Herr Eulenberg puts the two sides of the case very well in his preface. "The princely race of Hohenzollern," he writes, "has, like every other, produced men good and bad, strong and weak, men of noble character and men of coarser mold, rulers bellicose and, the fact needs especial emphasis-rulers peace-loving, mild, and conciliatory.
