Book excerpt: Excerpt from The German War of 1914: Illustrated by Documents of European History, 1815-1915 I am, I fear, solely responsible for the plan of this book and for the selections in it and for the English translations (except where otherwise stated). But I have received much kind help in the preparation of it, which it is now my pleasant duty to acknowledge. Much of my indebtedness is recorded at the beginnings of the several extracts but I have also to make many special acknowledgments - To the Foreign Office, for the present of a number of published documents, and for hints as to the use of some of them; to the Hon. W. P. Reeves, for his translations of the despatches of M. Venizelos, and for the loan of the Greek original; to Sir F. Pollock, k.c., and to Mr. N. L. Frazer, for advice on questions of copyright; to Mr. R. J. Mackenzie, of the Times, for the German text of the Chancellor's speech on 4 August, 1914 to Mr. Edgar Rowan, Editor of the Echo, for the present of the German facsimiles in the Appendix to Capt. The Rev. G. Anderson Wells, of the Canadian Army, the owner of the Tornisterwdrterbuch, for information concerning it; to Miss C. M. Codd, for permission to print the letter of Garibaldi, and for information on the subject to Mr. H. W. C. Davis, Fellow of Balliol College, for advice on a special point; to Mr. L. H. Taylor, of the British Museum, for help in tracing some German documents; to Miss L. A. O'regan, for much help in copying documents; and to my wife, for much help in their selection, copying, and translation. I have managed to avoid almost entirely the inclusion of any documents already available in the larger Source book, readings from European History, Vol. II., by Professor J. H. Robinson, of Columbia University, u.s.a. I have found it a very suggestive book. I have made much use of that excellent compilation Schilling's Quellenbuch zur Geschichte der N euzeit. Of Mr. Mowat's Select Treaties, which covers part of the ground of my book, I first heard when all my own work was nearly finished. I have seen since the title of one of his selections, something about Switzerland. But I have postponed the reading of his book till after the publication of my own, from the fear of reviving that hopeless feeling one used to have at school, when one had seen a fair copy by J ebb or Sidgwick, before one had finished one's own verses.
