The Polish Race.

Mr. Brandes says in his history of Poland: “Individualism was the death of Poland. It was an enthusiastic and unpractical people, noble-minded and untrustworthy, pomp-loving and volatile, vivacious and thoughtless, a people who despised severe and fatiguing labor, and loved all Intense and delicate, sensuous and intellectual enjoyments, but, above all, who worshiped independence to the point of insanity, freedom to the extent of the liberum veto, and who, when they had lost independent and freedom, remained faithful to their old love.”
