Book excerpt: "[...] Serbia again Subjugated When Europe (and more particularly Russia) was engaged in the war against Napoleon, the Turks found in the pre-occupation of the Great Powers the opportunity to retrieve their losses and Serbia was again subjugated in 1813. George Petrovitch and other Serbian leaders left the country to seek aid, first in Austria, and later in Russia. In their absence, Milosh Obrenovitch, one of Karageorge Petrovitch's lieutenants, made a fresh attempt to liberate the Serbian people from the Turkish yoke, and in 1815 was successful in re-establishing the autonomy of the Belgrade pashalik. During the progress of his operations, George Petrovitch returned to Serbia and was cruelly assassinated by order of Milosh who then proclaimed himself hereditary prince and was approved as such by the Sublime Porte in October 1815. Milosh was a great opponent of Russian[...]".

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hero Tales and Legends of the Serbians Serbians attach the utmost value and importance to the sympathies of the such a highly cultured, great, and therefore legitimately influential people as is the British nation. Since the beginning of the twentieth century there have been two critical occasions - the annexation of Bosnia and Herzegovina by Austria and the war against the Turks - when we have had opportunities to note how British sympathies, even when apparently only platonic, can be of great practical importance for our nation. It is quite natural that we should desire to retain and if possible deepen and increase those sympathies. We are proud of our army, but we flatter ourselves that our nation may win sympathy arid respect by other than military features of its national character. We wish that our British friends should know our nation such as it is. We wish them to be acquainted with our national psychology. And nothing could give a better insight into the very soul of the Serbian nation than this book which M. Woislav M. Petrovitch has so happily conceived. The Serbians belong ethnologically to the great family of the Slavonic nations. They are first cousins to the Russians, Poles, Czechs; Slovaks, and Bulgars, and they are brothers to the Croats and Slovenes. Since the Church has ceased to be the discordant and -disuniting element in the life of the nations, the Orthodox. Serbians and the Roman Catholic Croats ar-e practically one and the same people. But of all Slavonic nations the Serbians can legitimately claim to be the most poetical one. Their language is the richest and the most musical among all the Slavonic languages.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Heroic Serbians: An Appeal for Help The Byzantine Empire was reduced to Constantinople and its environs, and the Turkish tide approached the very heart of the Serbian Empire I quote from V. R. Savid's The Reconstruction of South Eastern Europe) The decisive battle was at hand. The Turks, who found the Serbs a most stubborn enemy, made overtures, begging them to open them the gate of Central Europe. The Serbian nation and its rulers were sorely tempted. They knew that their forces were too small to resist the swollen Turkish flood. No help was forthcoming from any other quarter. Europe, divided and terrified, looked mute and motionless upon the unequal struggle. Should the Serbs betray their noble mission as the champions of Christendom No and Never! The Serbian songs say that the Tsar Lazar received a letter from the Virgin Mother asking him which Kingdom he preferred, the Kingdom of Heaven or the Kingdom of the Earth. Tsar Lazar and all his nation chose the Heavenly Kingdom. So in 1914 the Serbians again chose the path of Right paved as it is with broken homes, and de'solated lands, murdered people, and women shamed and slain by German and Austrian lust. The gallant nation might have made easy terms with Germany and Austria and avoided war. The Central Europe Powers wanted a clear run to Constantinople, to Salonica, and a Balkancontrol. The Serbians might have made a big commercial bargain but they would not sell their souls. As on the Day of Kossovo they fought for the preservation of Christain Europe, so in 1914 they fought for their own honour and to uphold their undertakings to the peace-loving nations of the world. The historical parallel is there. The Serbians proved the pillar of the Balkans five hundred years ago as in this vast war.

Book excerpt: When our ancestors occupied the western part of the Balkan Peninsula, they found there numerous Latin colonies and Greek towns and settlements. In the course of twelve centuries we have through intermarriage absorbed much Greek and Latin blood. That influence, and the influence of the commercial and political intercourse with Italy, has softened our language and our manners and intensified our original Slavonic love of what is beautiful, poetical, and noble. We are a special Slavonic type, modified by Latin and Greek influences. The Bulgars are a Slavonic nation of a quite different type, created by the circulation of Tartar blood in Slavonian veins. This simple fact throws much light on the conflicts between the Serbians and Bulgarians during the Middle Ages, and even in our own days. Now what are the Serbian national songs? They are not songs made by cultured or highly educated poets-songs which, becoming popular, are sung by common people. They are songs made by the common people themselves. Up to the middle of the nineteenth century the Serbian peasantry lived mostly in agricultural and family associations called Zadrooga. As M. Petrovitch has stated, the sons of a peasant did not leave their father's house when they got married, but built a wooden cottage on the land.
