Of transcendent interest, not only to the historical student, but to every lover of freedom, is the record of the great struggle which lasted for eighty years, from its first inception at Alva's Council of Blood in the Netherlands in 1568, until the tardy negotiators at length gave peace to an exhausted world at Miinster and Osnabruck in 1648. With the intuition of a true poet, Schiller saw this and gave to the world his great histories of the Revolt in the Netherlands and of the Thirty Years' War. In 1814, nine years after Schiller's early death, was born in far-away Boston, a boy destined to make this great theme...

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Shores and Cities of the Boden See: Rambles in 1879 and 1880; With Maps of the District; And Numerous Original Etchings on Stone by H. Schmidt-Pecht I fear that this book is a bold experiment. I have invited the reader to accompany me on a journey around the Lake of Constance, and up the Rheinthal into the sunny Prattigau, and to sojourn with me for nearly two years. Whatever has interested me, I have asked him to share - excursions, personal adventure, books, and even sermons. In the summer of 1879 I addressed a letter to the Times, under the title "Can cheapness be combined with enjoyment in foreign travel?" which was followed, in the course of the autumn, by a series of letters with the title of the present work. It appeared to me that the Boden See was little known and less appreciated in England, and that much of its history and legend was a sealed book to the merely English reader. If, in this work, I have not succeeded in showing, that the Lake of Constance and the cities on its shores, are full of interest to the historical student, as well as to the traveller, I am profoundly conscious that I alone am to blame.
