 sian supremacy and a book on the political situa- 

 ion in Europe since the Congress of Vienna in 

 1815. His father had dreamed of uniting the

 iliatory, he was transferred to Paris. He won a

 ince. Count Miinster was delegated to repre- 

 >nt Germany in the Peace Conference of The 

 [ague. For his defense of German interests
