Book excerpt: Excerpt from Universal History, Vol. 3 of 4: Translated From the German Upwards of sixty towns, situated between the Alps and Cologne, along the course of the Rhine, had formed the Rhenish confederacy, which held its regular sessions at Mentz, Worms, and Strasburg. In the North, eighty commercial cities, of which Bremen, Hamburg, Lubec, Brunswick, Erfurt, and Dantzic, were the principal, and with which, London, Bruges, Bergen, and Novogorod, were associated, formed the Hanseatic union. These combinations were both founded on commercial interests, and differed, in that respect, from the Swiss confederacy, the only object of which was freedom. As the more powerful electors refused to acknowledge the monarchs, who were chosen by some of their brethren after the decease of Frederick, it appears that the German empire possessed no point of union, by the influence of which it might have been able to maintain its former ascendency in the European commonwealth.
