 | | Nicolai was the overseer of a powerful, Berlin-based publishing empire and a tireless chronicler and defender of city life. |
 | | Friedrich Gedike, for example, whose anonymous letters "On Berlin" are the focus of the next chapter, attempts to counter the charge that Berlin, like Paris and London, has become too populous in proportion to its geographic extension.[74] |
 | | Friedrich Gedike makes this connection explicit in one of the first letters in his collection, where he remarks: "In short, Berlin is the emblem of the Prussian monarchy, where more or less everything useful and entertaining has been crowded together with the aim of satisfying only itself."[84] |
