Excerpt from An Artist's Reminiscences
Not till 1814 had Hamburg been delivered from the well-nigh intolerable yoke of a foreign occupas tion and the cruel exactions of the French Marshal Davoust, by the Russians who laid siege to the town. All poor inhabitants were on that occasion ruthlessly expelled in mid-winter, whereas young and well-to-do men were at the same time forcibly detained.

He Succeeded in eluding the strict vigilance of the guards at the gate by dis guising himself as a working man pushing a wheelbarrow before him.
