The Schleswig-Holstein Difficulty: great meeting in favour of Prince Frederick at Elmshorn, Holstein, 1864. '...the great open-air a scene of the greatest were 20,000 Holsteiners present - one in twenty of the male the way down in the carriages the passengers sang the everlasting national song of I reached the place of meeting, the first thing I heard was the same eternal tune - the entire multitude singing chorus, as though they had never listened to it before. Then a gentleman with a bald head mounted the deal rostrum, the front of which was decorated - after the ordinary German fashion - with boughs of the fir tree, and proceeded to bellow away trumpery platitudes, in a tone as if his mouth had been crammed full of say the truth, the whole of the grand opportunity was utterly wasted. In the midst of the greatest excitement here, a large part of the population of Schleswig-Holstein are called together, and the whole business ends in the clatter of brass bands, the waving of hats, and the shouting of "Es lebe Frederick the Duke of Schleswig-Holstein".' From "Illustrated London News", 1864.
