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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Germany in the Nineteenth Century, Vol. 6 Roving somewhat discursively over the period 1830 to 1845, the present volume of Treitschke's History deals principally with German home policy, particularly in its political aspects. Here and there the historian turns aside in order to explain and justify Prussia's action on certain critical foreign questions which came to the front, like those of the Carlist rising in Spain and the Eastern question, but the interest of the narrative is in the main circumscribed by domestic affairs, and this interest increases as the concluding chapters are reached, forecasting as they do the political convulsions which occurred late in the forties. Still steeped in reaction, Prussia continued to assert herself as the active partner of the even more reactionary empires whose policies were dictated from Vienna and St. Petersburg. More and more the antagonism between Eastern and Western Europe, both in aims and ideas, became emphasised under the sinister influence of Metternich. Treitschke contends that the antagonism was really artificial and imaginary, and that the belief in its existence was a superstition, due to confusion of thought. Lord Palmerston spoke more truly when he said of the three Eastern Powers in 1836: The three Powers fancy their interests lie in a direction opposite to that in which we and France conceive ours to be placed. The separation is not one of words but of things; not the effect of caprice or of will, but produced by the force of circumstances, The three and the two think differently, and therefore they act differently, whether it be as to Belgium or Portugal or Spain.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Germany in the Nineteenth Century, Vol. 1 What scholarship and literature would have lost had he adhered to that first design may be imagined. The spectacle of Treitschke exhausting himself in the endless task of writing the dreary, uninspiring, unheroic annals of the Deutscher Bund, suggests the hardly less congruous spectacle of a Velasquez passing his days in painting Dutch interiors - in either case a fate comparable to the rigours which might have been reserved in a tenth Circle for men of genius who had misused their talents. Treitschke, as the special historian of the Bund, might have done the work better than anyone else, but there were other men able to do it well enough. It was not, however, the unattractiveness of the task that led him to abandon the idea of concentrating upon the history of the Bund. He tells us that he had not been long at work before he recognised that a History of the Germanic Federation would be a history for students and specialists. It was not his ambition to write such a work, but to write German history for the German nation. Hence he found it necessary to carry his researches both further back and further forward. As the plan developed he came to fix on the Peace of Westphalia as his starting point. That landmark gave him just the wide perspective which his scheme, as it had now taken shape, required, for it enabled him to survey in all essential features the beginnings of modern Germany and above all to do full justice to the romantic story of the growth of the Prussian State. It was his intention to bring the narrative down to his own day. Of the History, five portly volumes were published, carrying the story to the revolutionary movements of 1848. The History had not to win its way laboriously into favour like many great works, for it was born famous. Edition after edition has been published, and its place in the estimation - one might almost say the reverence - of the German nation is perhaps greater to-day than ever. Noris there any great mystery about this. The immense amount of research and the stores of erudition embodied in the History, the writers weighty authority alike as professor, publicist, and parliamentarian, and the fascination of his literary style would alone have assured a brilliant success. Yet these were not the recommendations which gave to Treitschke and the History their immense influence over the minds of modern Germany.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Treitschke's History of Germany in the Nineteenth Century, Vol. 4 With the present volume of the German History, Which reproduces the greater part of the third volume of the original, Treitschke leaves behind the series of European congresses and conferences Which supplemented the Congress of Vienna, and introduces his readers to the domestic politics of the States united in the Germanic F ederation and the intimate life of their courts and peoples. The narrative, rich in passages characterised by profound insight, picturesque description, and warm feeling, strikingly illustrates the great breadth of his survey, and his consummate art as a writer. Occasionally it also brings into prominence that psychic blindness and unconquerable prejudice, bordering at times on malignity, which vitiate his judgments upon some other countries, and especially Great Britain, and which for non - German readers mar so much of his work, Viewed as pure history.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Treitscke's History of Germany in the Nineteenth Century, Vol. 2: Translated by Eden Cedar Paul In a sense the Federation was not even the work of the Princes themselves; they accepted it, but the idea was that of Metternich, the powerful Austrian Chancellor, who presided over the Congress and bent it to his will, concerned only to divide the States, so that Austria might rule them, so maintaining in the new Germany the same paramount influence which it had held in the old. Austria was made the head of the Federation, but its position was now merely presidential, and conferred upon it no special powers or prerogatives. The time for a new German Emperor had not yet come, much as the ardent friends of national unity wished for the restoration of the ancient office and title. Poor faithful German nation, wrote Arndt in bitterness of soul, thou art to have no Emperor! Thy Princes wish themselves to play the Emperor. Instead of one lord, thou art to have two dozen (in point of fact, there were over three idozen) who will never be able to agree upon German questions. But that was just what Austria wanted.

This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 672 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Treitschke's History of Germany in the Nineteenth Century, Vol. 5 This is one way of writing history, but it is not the most gracious or the most persuasive way. Treitschke's censorious attitude was also dangerous, for his irrational prejudices frequently led him into arrogant assumptions, which, very unfortunately for his reputation as a moralist and a prophet, proved fallacious. If the effort were worth the trouble it would be possible to show how again and again events gave the lie to his boastful claims of Prussia's superior virtue and to his suspicion of the honour and probity of other countries unsympathetic to him. Take, for example, the question, now so near to all of us, of the declaration of Belgian independence as dealt with in this volume. When the status of that country was being determined by the Powers in 1830, in consequence of the rising against Dutch rule, it was a Prussian plenipotentiary, Count Bulow, who proposed that Belgium should be declared neutral under the joint guarantee of the Powers, just as it was a Prussian plenipotentiary, Count Bernstorff, who, over a generation later, at the London Conference of 1867, proposed that Luxemburg's neutrality and integrity should be substantiated by a similar collective pledge. Treitschke cannot record the former fact without the usual sneer at his bugbear England. "It remained extremely dubious," he says, "whether England would not some day as tranquilly abandon the new protege [Belgium] as she was now abandoning the old [Holland]. But the joint guarantee of the Powers might well be expected to make matters safe for two or three decades." The sneer is malicious and pointless. All the Powers were favourable to Belgium's independence, not only as a just solution of the problem butas the only possible solution. Prussia from interested motives would have helped the Dutch to dragoon the Belgians had she dared, but she had nochoice but to fall in with the action of the other Powers and make of necessity a virtue. Again, resenting Palmerston's suspicion that Bulow later was receiving sympathetically Talleyrand's proposal that Belgium should be partitioned between France, Prussia, and Holland, the virtuous historian asks indignantly: "How could the Prussian have agreed to commit his King to such a robbery?"

Excerpt: ...intelligence, and he was a master of historical judgment; but he was perhaps too critical and too cautious to grasp, as did Gneisenau, the fortune of battle at the propitious moment; yet he was far from being simply a man of books, for he was a practical and valiant soldier, looking with wide-open eyes upon the tumult of life. He had just returned with Prince Augustus from duress as a prisoner of war. Miile he was in France, his love for the youthful candour and freshness of the Teutons had risen to the point of enthusiasm. He returned home with the conviction that the French were still in essentials as unmilitary a people as they had been formerly in the days of the wars of the Huguenots when they trembled before the German infantry and cavalry. How can the primitive character of nations alter in ten years? How could those who had been conquered one hundred times permanently control Germany mighty in arms? It was with the aid of such forces as these that the king undertook the work of reconstruction. The whole army was formed anew. Six brigades, two Silesian, two Old Prussian, one from Pomerania, and one from the Mark, were all that still remained of the Frederician army, and constituted the last anchor for German hopes. The troops were given more practical weapons and clothing, the pigtail was done away with, the arts of the parade-ground passed into abeyance, and their place was taken by the strenuous work of field service. All the stores had to be provided anew; Napoleon's marshals had carried out their work of plunder so thoroughly that the Silesian artillery was unable for many months to undertake any practice for lack of powder. A commission of inquiry made a thorough examination of the conduct during the war of individual...

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Treitschke's History of Germany in the Nineteenth Century, Vol. 7 The concluding volume of this, the first English translation of Treitschke's "German History in the Nineteenth Century," has been called "Portents of Revolution." The title may not be the historian's, but it is altogether apposite, for it accurately focuses the interest of these closing chapters. The volume, of course, contains much more than reflections upon the imminent political upheaval of Germany. There is an interesting, if unduly detailed, account of the Protestant Frederick William IV's grotesque flirtations with Roman Catholicism and of his meddling in the internal affairs of the Prussian Evangelical Church; the literature, art, science, and philosophy of the period are surveyed; the development of the Customs Union and the railways is followed further; there is an account of the opening struggle between the Protectionists and the Free Traders; and we are reminded that German political circles had already begun to talk of colonies and a navy - aspirations which left the mass of the people cold and unmoved. All these subjects, however, are subsidiary to one engrossing topic, the climax of a long-drawn-out struggle for political liberty. Portents of revolution had been visible on every hand in Germany from the beginning of the forties. Not only so, but the obstinate defenders of the autocracies and semi-autocracies both saw the signs and understood them. This was true in an especial manner of Frederick William IV of Prussia, whose unbending opposition to democratic reform played directly into the hands of the extremists. He had only been three years on the throne when he declared that he did not regard as legally binding the law of May 22, 1815, wherein his father promised a national assembly with its seat in Berlin; for its author having repudiated this pledge, why should not he? With this declaration he supposed that the constitutional question was settled and done with. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
