D If we look for striking personalities and events, the reigns of Frederick the Great and of William I. Were of supreme importance to Europe, and, as was not the case with Louis XIV. And Napoleon, their acquisitions were of a permanent character. All in all, it has seemed to me that I could engage in no more thankful occupation than in writing the history of Germany the more so as German treatments of the subject presuppose more knowledge than is usually to be found in the American reader, and as no other American writer has ever attempted the task. The work of Lewis, founded on an antiquated German text-book, does not fulfil the most modest demands. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Of the acquisitions to the eastward we shall speak in another con nection for the present, it is enough to trace the steps by which Brandenburg achieved three Rhenish provinces.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Germany The History of Germany is not the History of a Nation, but of a Race. It has little unity, therefore: it is complicated, broken, and attached on all sides to the histories of other countries. In its earlier periods it covers the greater part of Europe, and does not return exclusively to Germany until after France, Spain, England and the Italian States have been founded. Thus, even before the fall of the Roman Empire, it becomes the main trunk out of which branch the histories of nearly all European nations, and must of necessity he studied as the connecting link between Ancient and Modern History. The records of no other race throw so much light upon the development of all civilized lands, during a period of fifteen hundred years. The need of a work of this kind being evident, I have endeavored to supply it in such a manner as to simplify the task of both teachers and pupils. My aim has been to present a clear, continuous narrative, omitting no episode of importance, yet preserving a distinct line of connection from century to century. Besides referring to all the best authorities, I have based my labors mainly upon three recent German works, - that of Dittmar, as the fullest; of Von Rochau, as the most impartial, and of Dr. David Muller, as the most readable. By constructing an entirely new narrative from these, compressing the material into less than half the space which each occupies, and avoiding the interruptions and changes by which all are characterized, I hope to have made this History convenient and acceptable to our schools. The historical maps will be found to be an important aid. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

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.

Yet the bare' outlines of a portrait often impress the characteristic features more vividly than color and detail. The history of the Germans in this country goes back to the earliest colonial period. Recurrent waves in the eighteenth were followed by great tides of German immigration in the nineteenth century, and these carried into the population of the United States an element second in amount only to the contribution of the English stock.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Germans: I, Their Empire, How They Have Made ItNot only their newspapers but also their schools and universities are wholly in the hands of their. Govern ment; all professors and schoolmasters are salaried State-agents; and all know that their promotion, and even the retention of the places they hold, depend on their teaching and preaching exactly what the Govern ment wishes. I can't speak for their priests or other ministers of religion, but. So far as I know, in the Protestant parts of Germany no one listens to them or goes to their churches, and not many well-educated people do so in the Catholic parts. But the average Gtcman believes in culture, and soaks himself in it t-o a far higher degree than the average Englishman. I have sometimes thought that the German gets his culture a little too cheap; for it is better that the highest things should come to us after some effort made by our selves than that we should be spoon-fed with them by the State.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Short History of German Literature If we turn back two hundred years, we find the reading men of England, if they have time to go beyond their own authors, giving their attention, among moderns, to the Italians and Spanish. As yet in Europe only Italy and Spain, besides England, had seen the rise of literatures of sufficient moment to influence the cultivated world beyond the national limits. Dante, Petrarch, Boceaceio, Ariosto, Tasso, Machiavelli had lived, and these are still the greatest Italian names. In Spain, Cervantes, Lope de Vega, and Calderon had done their work, - work which no succeeding writers of that land have equalled. If we go back one hundred years, the literature of France has taken the place in the estimation of the English once held by the writers of Spain and Italy; the brilliant men of the age of Louis XIV have laid the world under their spell. In our time, again, the influence of France has been, to a large extent, supplanted. Following especially the lead of two of the most gifted Englishmen of the century, Coleridge and Carlyle, the present generation turns with most reverence to the Germans, often regarding their literature as the most important in the world, after our own, if, indeed, we are to make that exception. It will scarcely be questioned that some knowledge of the history of German literature is, to English-speaking persons, an essential part of thorough culture.

Only in 1871 did Germany as we now know it become united, but the unity then cemented proved very different from that which most of the national leaders of Arndt's day anticipated, since the largest of the German States was excluded from the ring-fence which Prince Bismarck drew around the twenty-five sovereignties which still retained their independ ence, and to which, with due regard to the tra dition of the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation, which came to an end in 1800, he gave the name of German Empire.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Short History of Europe: From the Dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire to the Outbreak of the German War Actually, from May 10, 1871, when Germany made peace with France, to August 1, 1914, when she declared war upon Russia, her Empire did not break the peace of Europe. But she was the menacing force in five dangerous crises which threatened war in 1875 and 1887, when her recent enemy's quick recovery tempted her to bleed France white in 1905, when the Kaiser swooped down upon Tangier to intimidate France in 1908, when mutual interests placed him in shining armour by Austria's side in challenge of Russia; and in 1911, when Germany's brow-beating politik had its first rebuff at Agadir. For a generation before the German Empire drew sword in 1914, it pursued a calculated system of menace and provocation, shaking its mailed fist in the face of its neighbours, and exhibiting the bullying manners of its Prussian tutor.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Short History of Germany and Her Colonies After all, however, even these powerful Frankish conquerors had but imperfect success in Germany When they were present with their formidable armies, they could command obedience when engaged, as they often were, in distant parts of the vast Frankish territory, they could not trust to the fulfilment of the fair. Promises they had exacted. One of the chief causes of their ill - success was the continued independence of the Saxons. Ever since they had acquired the northern half of Thuringia, this warlike race had been extending its power. They were still heathens, cherishing bitter hatred towards the Franks, whom they regarded as the enemies both of their liberties and of their religion and their hatred found expression, not only in expeditions into Frankish territory, but in help willingly rendered to every German confederation which wished to throw off the Frankish yoke. Hardly any rebellion against the dukes of the Franks, or against King Pippin, took place in Germany without the Saxons coming forward to aid the rebels. This was perfectly understood by the Frankish rulers, who tried again and again to put an end to the evil by subduing the Saxons They could not, however, attain their Object. An occasional victory was gained, and some border tribes were from time to time compelled to pay tribute, but the mass of the Saxons remained unconquered. This was partly due to the fact that the Saxons had not, like the other German confederations, a duke who, when beaten, could be held responsible for the engagements forced upon him as the representative of his subjects. A Saxon chief who made peace with the Franks could undertake nothing for the whole people. As a conquering race, they were firmly compact; conquered, they were in the hands of the victor a rope of sand.
