(You'll be glad to know that while the atlas is, shall we say, not so keen on Africans, Asians, etc., they are totally down with Germany. This was before a couple of wars with them of course.)
"The German Empire has a population about two thirds as great as that of the United States. Its people generally speak the German language, of which there are several dialects. The inhabitants are intelligent, industrious, and progressive. Germany is one of the leading nations of the earth.
"In intellectual culture this nation takes high rank. Not only is it noted for its rich literature and the attainments of its scientific men, but, owing to its excellent school system, the common people are perhaps better educated than those of any other country in Europe. The Bible was first printed in Germany."
