Friedrich von Holstein (1837-1909) was Bismarck's subordinate at the German Foreign Office. Since his death historians have combined to make him a monster of sinister and self-seeking policy. A selection of his Nachlass, which was first published in volume form between 1955 and 1963, is presented here. The original effect of this publication prompted an entire re-judgement of Bismarck, of German foreign policy at that time and since, and of Holstein himself. Though he had been advised by Bismarck that it was indiscreet to keep a diary, Holstein began to do so in the 1880s, and passed the pages to a cousin as they were completed up to 1886, when they died out. This diary (Volume 2) gives an incomparable fresh and direct description of life in the German foreign ministry at the time as well as Holstein's own mordant comments on the general trend of international politics.
The Holstein-Friesian Herd-Book is an exhaustive record of all Holstein-Friesian cattle in the United States. It was first published in 1871 and has since been updated regularly with new information on the breed. The book includes detailed pedigree information on each registered animal, as well as information on breeders and other key figures in the Holstein-Friesian community. The Holstein-Friesian Herd-Book is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in the history and genetics of this important dairy breed.
