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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Reformation in Germany Within a generation a new way of looking at all history has become common among students of the past, a recognition of the fundamental importance of the economic basis of society, and the influence of economic changes on all human institutions and movements. The economic interpretation of history has not yet been applied to the period of the Reformation, and that fact is the chief justification of this attempt to retell a story that has been so often told, yet told inadequately. That the great religious struggle of the sixteenth century was only a phase of the social revolution then going on in Europe and effecting a transforma tion of all its institutions, that momentous economic changes were the underlying cause of political and religious movements, are ideas for which the reader will look in vain in books on the Reformation accessible to him. But these ideas are now accepted by most historical students, and in the light of them all the history of the past is undergoing a reinterpretation. The external events of the Reformation have been told before with substantial accuracy; what is now needed is illumination of the facts by the light of this new knowledge. By itself this would be a sufficient justification for the writing of a new book on this old subject. But there are other reasons. For more than a generation, Europe has been swept with lighted candle to find the smallest fragment of document, or one overlooked fact, that could shed light on the Reformation period. The result has been the accumulation of an enormous mass of material, much of it trivial and jejune - mountains of chaff, to speak plainly, with here and there a kernel of precious wheat. Little, relatively, has been done in the way of comparing, sifting, unifying this mass of useful and useless information. Monographs have multiplied, it is true, until every character of the age, however little noteworthy, has his biography; and every event, however obscure, has its separate doc umented story. Has not the time come for the telling of the larger story once more, in the light of this newly discovered body of fact?

Book excerpt: Excerpt from List of References on the History of the Reformation in Germany Probably three-fourths of the titles in our bibliography are contained in Dahlmann - Waitz, but a surprisingly large fraction has either been overlooked by the compilers of that work or has appeared since it went to press. Therefore we have made a special effort to include publications since 1910 as well as some of the Older material in English which it has omitted. The table of contents furnishes a detailed guide to subjects. Titles of books have been entered but Once, though many might have been classified under several headings; hence the only way to be sure one has found all the needed information here con tained, is to look under more than one heading. This process would have been greatly facilitated had it been practicable to make an index; but the delay involved seemed prohibitive.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the Reformation This History of the Reformation has been written with the intention of describing a great religious movement amid its social environment. The times were heroic, and produced great men, with striking individualities not easily weighed in modern balances. The age is sufficiently remote to compel us to remember that while the morality of one century can be judged by another, the men who belong to it must be judged by the standard of their contemporaries, and not altogether by ours. The religious revival was set in a framework of political, intellectual, and economic changes, and cannot be disentangled from its surroundings without danger of mutilation. All these things add to the difficulty of description. My excuse, if excuse be needed, for venturing on the task is that the period is one to which I have devoted special attention for many years, and that I have read and re-read most of the original contemporary sources of information. While full use has been made of the labours of predecessors in the same field, no chapter in the volume, save that on the political condition of Europe, has been written without constant reference to contemporary evidence.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Great Reformation of the Sixteenth Century in Germany, Switzerland, &C, Vol. 1: Eighteenth Thousand The su denness of its action is one of these characters of the Reforma tion. The great revolutions which have drawn after them the fall of a monarchy, or an entire change of political system, or launched the human mind in a new career of developement, have been slowly and gradually prepared; the power to be displaced has long been mine and its princi pal supports have given way. It was even thus at the introduction of Christianity. But the Reformation, at the first glance, seems to ofi'er a difi'erexit aspect. The Church of Rome is seen, under Leo X., in all its strength and glory. A monk s aks, -and in the half of Europe this power and glory suddenly crum ls into dust. This revolution reminds us of the words by which the Son of God announces his second advent: As the lightning cometh forth from the west and shineth unto the east, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
