Not illustrated. 1887 edition. Excerpt: ...crime to slight a title. One of our American students, in Leipsic, called on Professor Delitzsch, asking for him simply as such, whereupon the servant in waiting poured upon his innocent head a volley of wrath for his insult to Herr--Doctor--Professor--Universitats Prediger--etc., etc.--Delitzsch.

A little bunch of the first snowdrops, in February, or a few tender pussywillows will bear the Friihlings Gruss, and from papa's hunting some rabbits are sent, or a bottle of wine from the latest importation. Yet, somehow, families never drop in to see each other in the free, easy, familiar...
