		Nassau is one of the most thickly wooded regions in Germany, about 42% of its surface being occupied by forests, which yield good timber and harbour large quantities of game.
		Adolph of Nassau, a son of Walram, the founder of the elder line of the house of Nassau, became German king in 1292, but was defeated and slain by his rival, Albert of Austria, in 1298.

		Another fact about the anthem that is often in dispute is the use of the word "Duitsen" in the second line of the first verse.
		Often translated as "German", William's birthplace indeed lies in modern-day Germany, however, Germany as a nation would not exist for another 300 years (the area still being known as the "Holy Roman Empire").

		SENIOR, NASSAU WILLIAM (1790-1864), English economist, was born at Compton, Berks, on the 26th of September 1790, the eldest son of the Rev. J.
		Senior's literary criticisms do not seem to have ever won the favour of the public; they are, indeed, somewhat formal and academic in spirit.
		The author, while he had both good sense and right feeling, appears to have wanted the deeper insight: the geniality and the catholic tastes which are necessary to make a critic of a high order, especially in the field he chose - that, namely, of imaginative literature.
