Book excerpt: Excerpt from Contemporary Europe, Asia and Africa, Vol. 20: A History of All Nations The subject of the present volume is the recent history of' Europe, Asia, and Africa to the beginning of the twentieth century. The Allgemeine Weltgeschichte, of which the preceding volumes, by various authors, contain a translation, was carried by Professor Theodor Flathe to the close of the reign of Emperor William I. But as the treatment of other countries than Germany, since 1871, was largely summary in character and the subject viewed by the author naturally frem a German standpoint, the publishers deemed it best that the history of the last thirty years should be the work of a single band, and that my task of continuation should begin not with the year 1888, but with the year 1871. Consequently Professor Flathe's work closes with the chapters on the Vatican Council and the internal history of Germany from 1871 to 1888, which are to be found in Volume XIX., and my contribution begins with the present volume.
