Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Germany IT is right for me to say that this volume of the series has been carefully revised by Mr. A. W. Ward, than Whom England can supply no one better fitted to deal with matters of German History of all dates. Mr. Ward must be understood as guaranteeing only the general accuracy of the narrative. In other respects the volume falls under the same rules as its fellows. As I have already said in the Preface to the History of England, this volume, like the others, is strictly the work of its own author, subject only to the requirement of a general agreement in form and treatment with the other volumes of the series.

Download or read book A History of Germany 1715 1815 Classic Reprint written by Christopher Thomas Atkinson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-21 with total page 834 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Germany, 1715-1815 The appended lists of authorities do not of course make any pretensions to be exhaustive bibliographies: the first gives the names of the principal books from which I have taken my information, the second of some books to which I would refer any one who wants more information on particular points than is here given. Other references will be found from time to time throughout the book to other works which I have consulted less frequently or on special points. Some books (indicated by an asterisk) which appear in both lists have been published since the manuscript of the book was first completed, now some time ago, for unforeseen difficulties have caused considerable delay in the appearance of the book. I have thus not been able to utilise several volumes which might have been very helpful. Before leaving the subject of authorities I should like to make special acknowledgment of my indebtedness to two works, Dr. Ward's England and Hanover and Mr. Fisher's Napoleonic S tatesmam/zz'p Germany, the first of which I have found exceptionally useful when deal ing with the attitude, not as a rule yery rightly represented, ofs England towards Germany in the first half of the period, while Mr. Fisher's book I found peculiarly illuminating on a subject' on which the German authorities I had utilised were copious rather than clear.

Download or read book A History of Germany in the Middle Ages Classic Reprint written by Ernest F. Henderson and published by . This book was released on 2015-09-27 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Germany in the Middle Ages It may seem strange that one whose aim and desire is to be considered an American writer, should first launch his adventurous craft on the tide of English popular favour, rather than entrust it to the currents, likely to be more favourable or less dangerous, of his own native depths. This has come about in great part by accident. I happened to be on this side of the ocean when this volume reached its completion, circumstances prevented my return to America, and yet I was eager without delay to try my experiment on the public. For it is an experiment. Apart from the question as to whether or not I am capable of putting life and spirit into the vast body of facts and events that concern the past of so enormous a political creation as Germany, I have been assured from competent side that there is not sufficient interest in the subject to warrant a work like the present. My belief is, that if there is not, there ought to be. Not to speak of the breathlessly exciting incidents of the German Reformation, nor of the proud emancipation of the grand modem empire from the trammels of disunity and disorganization, there is that in the fortunes and misfortunes of a Charlemagne and Henry IV., of a Barbarossa, a Henry VI. and an Emperor Frederick II., which should stir the heart of any observer, no matter what his nationality. The rise and fall of the mediaeval German Empire is in itself a subject boundlessly interesting, boundlessly important. Open your eyes, oh ye students of men and of institutions, and see how Europe has come to be what it is, and how near it came to being something quite different!

Download or read book History of Germany in the Nineteenth Century Vol 1 Classic Reprint written by Heinrich Von Treitschke and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-20 with total page 734 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Germany in the Nineteenth Century, Vol. 1 Honoured friend, accept the dedication of these pages as a sign of our old friendship. During the lengthy preliminary labours you have so often given me ardent encouragement it is a pleasure to me to declare to you, first of all, what I have to say to my readers regarding the design and purpose of this book. It was my original plan to write only the history of the Germanic Federation, and after a brief introduction to proceed immediately to the deliberations of the Congress of Vienna. I soon came to recognise, however, that a book which was not intended solely for historical experts must extend further back. The destinies of the Germanic Federation constitute no more than the conclusion of the two hundred years' struggle between the House of Austria and the newly-arising German state they would remain incom prehensible to the reader unless he were well-informed regarding the beginnings of the Prussian monarchy and the destruction of the Holy Empire. In our so recently reunited nation, a national historical tradition common to all cultured persons has not yet been able to develop. That unanimous sense of joyful gratitude which older nations feel towards their political heroes, is by us Germans felt only for the great names of art and science. Opinions still differ widely upon the question, which facts in the medley of our recent history have been genuinely decisive.

Download or read book Our War With Germany written by John Spencer Bassett and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-23 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our War With Germany: A History The participation of the United States in the great war is one of the rare historical events that give direction to the prog ress of the world. The self-governing states of Europe were struggling for life and the greatest republic in the world went to their assistance at the critical moment. A century ago the American people first proved that republican government can succeed in a first rate nation. It was as fitting as essential that they should have interfered to preserve it in time of danger. It is in this sense that the future historian will make up his opinion of our part in the great struggle. When the passions of the day subside, the American people will come to this view of the subject. They will not ask very closely about the errors committed in the conduct of the war, but they will wish to know what the world crisis was, how the nation as a nation met it, and how the people now living adjusted themselves to the problems growing out of the war when it was won.

Download or read book History of the Reformation in Germany Classic Reprint written by Leopold von Ranke and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 822 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Reformation in Germany It is, perhaps, necessary to offer some apology for the space occupied by the notes, in consequence of the plan I have adopted in respect of a large portion of them. The German authorities cited are chiefly contemporaneous - many of them unprinted, and drawn from different parts of the vast empire through which the German tongue is spoken. They abound in 'obsolete and provincial forms - if indeed the word provincial can be applied to any of the varieties of a language, no one of which then claimed a metropolitan authority, - and present difficulties, which even a German, if unprepared by special studies, often finds, to say the least, extremely perplexing. To secure the reader, therefore, against any errors I may have fallen into, and in order that, if important, they may be pointed out, I have placed the original within reach. I hope the translations may give some idea of the light these notes throw on individual as well as national character. We find in them one source of the vigour and animation of the portraits, and the dramatic vivacity of the scenes, with which this history abounds. We See that the author has lived with his heroes, and listened to their own homely and expressive language. I have much greater need of the indulgent construction of the reader in behalf of some few notes which I have ventured to add. Nothing but my own belief, and the assurance of others, that they were absolutely necessary to the understanding of certain passages in the work, would have induced me to risk such a departure from my proper province. Names of institutions and of offices scarcely ever admit of a translation. Words analogous in form, or allied in origin, generally express a totally different set of acts or functions in different countries, and can therefore only mislead. And if such names convey false ideas, others again convey none at all. Being compelled to endeavour to affix some tolerably distinct notions to the words of this class which I had to interpret, I ventured to think that the little information I had gathered for myself might not be unacceptable to the less learned of my readers. The scanty nature of it will hardly surprise them, and will, I hope, be pardoned. I have at least sought it in the most authentic and unquestioned sources.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Changing Germany The publication of another book about Germany in connection with the war may require some explanation, even if defence is difficult. It may therefore be well to state that the following chapters, written to please no one and at nobody's invitation, were the outcome of a disappointment. When, upon the outbreak of war, I was compelled hastily to quit my home in Charlottenburg, leaving behind me books and clothes, and even a carefully packed trunk which had been intended to accompany me to the "only unexploited valley in the Canton Valais" (an annual illusion whose destruction is, however, rarely unpleasant), I found that, for a time at any rate, there was nothing to do but take a holiday, the first long holiday in England for thirteen years.

Download or read book My Four Years in Germany Classic Reprint written by James W. Gerard and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-09 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from My Four Years in Germany AM writing what should have been the last chapter of this book as a foreword because I want to bring home to our people the gravity of the situation; because I want to tell them that the military and naval power of the German Empire is unbroken; that of the twelve million men whom the Kaiser has called to the colours but one million, five hundred thousand have been killed, five hundred thousand permanently disabled, not more than five hundred thousand are prisoners of war, and about five hundred thousand constitute the number of wounded or those on the sick list of each day, leaving at all times about nine million effectives under arms. I state these figures because Americans do not grasp either the magnitude or the importance of this war. Perhaps the statement that over five million prisoners of war are held in the various countries will bring home to Americans the enormous mass of men engaged.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from England and Germany Behind any human institution there stand a few men - perhaps only one man - who direct its movement, protect its interests, or serve as its mouthpiece. This applies to nations. If we Wish to know for What a nation stands and what are its ideals and by what means it seeks to realise them, we shall do well to know something of the men who lead its people or express their feelings. It is of vital importance that we should understand the attitude of every one of the nations - both friends and enemies - involved in this war. For in this way only can we know what is necessary to be done to achieve victory. And the remarkable man who has written this book knows those who lead the warring nations in this titanic conflict very much better than ordinary men know their own townsmen.
