bauer

Substantiv

1. 1

   A German farmer or peasant.

   The large farmers are gentlemen of education, but the bauers are so occupied by the labour of routine, that they are excluded from all theoretical knowledge, and can make no other improvements than those which they may see practised by the larger farmers.

   The bauers were in the public houses in this village, singing and drinking in a manner that would have horrified Sir Andrew Agnew, and made us think that, for a serious and sentimental nation, the Germans had the least show of being a religious one imaginable.

   He is in uniform, and for three years flutters on the parade, in the beer-gardens, in the gallery at the theatre, and then he chrysalises into the old paternal bauer suit and the patriarchal ideas.

   British yokels, British jail-birds, German handicraftsmen, German bauers, French peasants, and French artisans, were all pretty much alike made creditable “cannon-fodder.”
