These selected paragraphs distill the contents and give you a quick look inside Speaking of Prussians: Look inside the book: And it was on the day when I first saw the lion, with his jaws adrip, coming down the highroads, typified in half a million fighting men-men whose sole business in life was to fight, and who knew their business as no other people everPg 19 have known it-that in one flash of time I decided I wanted my country to quit being lamb-like, not because the lion was a pleasing figure before mine eyes, but because for the first time I realised that, so long as there are lions, sooner or later must come oppression and annihilation for the nation which persists in being one of the lambs. ...We have got to remember, then, that the Germany with which we have broken is not the Germany of Heine and Goethe and Haeckel and Beethoven; not the Germany which gave us Steuben in the Revolutionary War, and Sigel and Schurz in the Civil War; not the Germany of the chivalrous, lovable Saxon, or yet of the music-loving, home-loving Bavarian; not the Germany which was the birthplace of the kindly, honourable, industrious, patriotic German-speaking neighbour round the corner from you-but the fanatical, tyrannical, power-mad, blood-and-iron Prussianised Germany of Bismarck and Von Bernhardi, of the Crown Prince and the Junkers-that passionate Prussianised Germany which for forty years through the instrumentality of its ruling classes-not necessarily its Kaiser, but its real ruling classes-has been jealously striving to pervert every native ounce of its scientific and its inventive and its creative genius out of the paths of progress and civilisation and to jam it into thePg 39 grooves of the greatest autocratic machine, the greatest organism for killing off human beings, the greatest engine of misbegotten and misdirected efficiency that was ever created in the world. About Irvin S. (Irvin Shrewsbury) Cobb, the Author: In deference to the faith of our dear mother who was through her lifetime a loyal though never bigoted communicant of that congregation, perhaps the current pastor of the First Presbyterian Church would consent to read the Twenty-third Psalm, which was her favorite passage in the Scriptures and is mine since it contains no charnel words, no morbid mouthings about corruption and decay and, being mercifully without creed or dogma, carries no threat of eternal hell-fire for those parties we do not like, no direct promise of a heaven which, if one may judge by the people who are surest of going there, must be a powerfully dull place, populated to a considerable and uncomfortable degree by prigs, time-servers and unpleasantly aggressive individuals. ...Lovecraft's The Shadow Over Innsmouth, while 'The Unbroken Chain' was a model for Lovecraft's 'The Rats in the Walls'. The former was described by Lovecraft as 'banefully effective in its portrayal of unnatural affinities between a hybrid idiot and the strange fish of an isolated lake' in his essay Supernatural Horror in Literature.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Intimate Prussia "Who said rats?" was the title of a once widely popular picture of an alert Irish terrier. "Who said Germans?" does, and will for a long time to come, aptly phrase the attitude of John of the bull-dog breed whenever he scents "Kultur." Hence this apology. Some years ago a young English student, having drunk in the course of his "wander-years" at the fountains of wisdom in Heidelberg, Halle, and Leipzig, arrived at Berlin. He had heard much of the "soul of Germany," and was looking for it. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Unspeakable Prussian And now, within an incredibly brief space Of time, all this is Changed. It is not only her foes who spurn Germany. The most severely neutral Powers shrink from her. She is a pariah among the nations, whose 'very name is as a hissing and a reproach. NO such dramatically startling change has ever reversed the judgment of mankind. But yesterday and Germany's very detractors gave her ungrudging respect; to-day her best friends draw back at the Spectacle which she presents. From the villages of India, through the bazaars of Cairo, on across Europe, over the Atlantic, and through the packed Cities of America down to the slopes of the Pacific, she has sent a shudder through the consciousness Of mankind, and every race and every nation stands aghast at the monster who has dethroned herself.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Germans: I, Their Empire, How They Have Made It Not 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Seven Years at the Prussian Court I left this country just seven years ago to enter the service of the Princess Frederick Leopold of Prussia, who is sister of the German Empress and sister-in-law of the Duchess of Connaught, and who is thus closely related to the chief reigning houses of Europe. I obtained my situation by answering an advertisement which appeared in one of the London papers for a dresser to a German lady. No more particulars were given in the advertisement. I was at that time in the employment of the late Duchess of Northumberland, and I answered the advertisement in the hope, not so much of bettering myself (for I was very happy with Her Grace), but because I wanted to travel. I had been already to Italy and France, but never to Germany. A few days after I had answered the advertisement I received a letter in reply to mine, asking me to call on a Mrs. Sherenstein at the Hans Crescent Hotel in London.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Friedrich II of Prussia, Vol. 1 of 6: Called Frederick the Great Just about threescore and ten years ago,3 his speakings and his workings came to finis in this World Of Time; and he van ished from all eyes into other worlds, leaving much inquiry about him in the minds of men - which, as my readers and I may feel too well, is yet by no means satisfied. As to his speech, indeed, though it had the worth just ascribed to it and more, and though masses of it were deliberately put on paper by himself, in prose and verse, and continue to be printed and kept legible, what he spoke has pretty much vanished into the inane; and except as record or document Of what he did, hardly now concerns mankind. But the things he did were extremely remarkable; and cannot be forgotten by mankind. Indeed, they bear such fruit to the present hour as all the Newspapers are obliged to be taking note of, sometimes to an unpleasant degree. Editors vaguely account this man the Creator of the Prussian Monarchy which has since grown so large in the world, and troublesome to the Editorial mind in this and other countries. He was indeed the first who, in a highly public manner, notified its creation; announced to all men that it was, in very deed, created; standing on its feet there, and would go a great way, on the impulse it had got from him and others. As it has accordingly done; and may still keep doing to lengths little dreamt of by the British Editor in our time; whose prophesyings upon Prussia, and insights into Prussia, in its past, or present or future, are truly as yet inconsiderable, in proportion to the noise he makes with them! The more is the pity for him, - and for myself too in the Enterprise now on hand. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Germany and Good Faith written by Ernest Henry Clark Oliphant and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-11-16 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Germany and Good Faith: A Study of the History of the Prussian Royal Family It was on August 7th that I was offered the manuscript. Of Germany and Good Faith. It did not take me long to decide that here was a book which was just what the public wanted, dealing as it does with a subject which is of the deepest interest to us all at the present moment, for Germany and Good Faith is concerned with that German foreign policy which has at the present time reduced the world to chaos. Here is a history of the diplomacy during the past 300 years of that family which is now the ruling house of Germany. Such a history has never before been given to the world, and. Yet it is, of all histories, the one we most ought to know at the present juncture. The author very modestly claims that it is written for the man in the street, but anyone who looks at the vast amount of research that has gone to the making of it will realise that it is also a book for the quite serious student of world politics. I was struck, however, not only by the gap that it would fill in the knowledge of most of us, but also by the amazing frankness with which it was written. I do not think I have ever encountered a book, and certainly never a book written with such seriousness of aim on so serious a subject, which has been characterised by such extreme outspokenness. The writer is no: respecter of persons, and says exactly what he thinks, and you may take it or leave it as you choose. He strikes not with a gloved hand, but with a mailed fist; but, at the same time, fierce as his onslaughts are upon those of whose conduct he disapproves, I do not think that he is ever wittingly unfair. The care which he has taken to discriminate between the German public as individuals and the rulers of the German. Nation is quite sufficient to show that.

Similarly, a father was at liberty to destroy sickly or deformed children by drowning or burning, on the principle that emiction is hate ful to both God and man.
