May, Karl Friedrich, 1842-1912

"My Life and My Efforts"


"That's really excellent, perfectly excellent!" he exclaimed.
"And you can achieve all of this with me, the best and fastest way
is with me!"
"Why?"
"You'll have this stuff printed by me, and you'll destroy this
Freytag and his new magazine with this!"
"This would really make things easier. But what if I don't like
your `Observer by the River Elbe'? After all, I don't know it."
"So, we'll discontinue it, and you'll found a new magazine in its
place!"
"What kind of a magazine?"
"Whatever you please, as you see fit for your purposes!"
I confess that by this promise he had already won me over more
than half of the way. In respect to my plans, this sounded almost
like a gift from heaven! He added even further promises, by means
of which he made it easy for me to agree to his wishes. In
addition, there were my own considerations. Quite unexpectedly, I
was hereby offered this most outstanding opportunity to get
acquainted with printing, typesetting, stereotyping, and
everything else which was a part of this, in the most comfortable
manner.
