Note 46 — IV. SOME SOCIAL TRAITS OF TEUTONS
Reading edition
See William Howitt, Rural and Domestic Life of Germany (London, 1842), passim. That portion of Carl Schurz’s work (see note 8 ante) which describes his boyhood life at Liblar throws much light on the amusements indulged in by the people. There is a delightful account of the Schützenfest, or marksmanship contest, on pages 45-48 and pages 81-83.
