...independent parentage. Throughout life his studies were much disturbed by ill health, to which his dauntless spirit refused to bow. But a somewhat irregular education suited well a nature which was always fretted by routine and profited by whatever was unusual, diverse, and expressive of individual character.

During the reception, Count von Bernstorff consented to speak, and emphasized the need of a thorough understanding between the youth of Germany and this country. It is surprising, he said, how little each knows of the other, and how inaccurate and garbled even that little is.
