Excerpt from The Southern Planter, Vol. 19: Devoted to Agriculture, Horticulture, and the Household Arts, December, 1859 Who, unless an impressed English sailor, can be more a wretched and even a personal slave, than a Prussian soldier? Yet to this terrible servitude every Prussian subject is bound for fourteen years, if so long needed hythe government, at any time between the ages of twenty and fifty years. And though the duration and hardships of legal military service may be less in the other countries of Continental Europe, yet throughout, all men of the lower classes are subject to su¿er this addition to the rigor and wretchedness of their otherwise ordinary condition of slavery to want, hunger and misery.
