Book Description
Excerpt from A Short History of Austria-Hungary and Poland Austria-Hungary, or the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy (Gcr. OsUrreichisck-ungarischt Monarchie or Ostcrreichisck-ungarisches Reich), is the official name of a country situated in central Europe, bounded E. by Russia and Rumania, S. by Rumania, Servia, Turkey and Montenegro, W. by the Adriatic Sea, Italy, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, and the German empire, and N. by the German empire and Russia. It occupies about the sixteenth part of the total area of Europe, with an area (1905) of 239,977 sq. m. The monarchy consists of two independent states: the kingdoms and lands represented in the council of the empire (Rcichsrat), unofficially called Austria or Cislcithania, because its territories lie west of the river Lcitha; and the "lands of St Stephen's Crown," unofficially called Hungary or Transleithania, i*. across the I.eitha. It received its actual name by the diploma of the emperor Francis Joseph I. of the 14th of November 1868, replacing the name of the Austrian Empire under which the dominions under his sceptre were formerly known. The Austro-Hungarian monarchy is very often called unofficially the Dual Monarchy. It had in 1910 a population of 49,454,385 inhabitants, comprising therefore within its borders about one-eighth of the total population of Europe. By the Berlin Treaty of 1878 the principalities of Bosnia and Herzegovina with an area of 19,702 sq. m., and a population (1895) of U59inhabitants, owning Turkey as suzerain, were placed under the administration of Austria-IIungary, and their annexation in 1908 was recognized by the Powers in 1909, so that they became part of the dominions of the monarchy.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Whirlpool of Europe: Austria-Hungary and the Habsburgs No attempt has been made, either in text or illustra tions, to do justice to the wonderful scenery which is the framework of this picture of national and political evo lation. To do so would involve not one but several volumes, and the present work is merely an outline which the reader may fill in at his leisure by reference to more detailed studies. The authors feel that the historical sketch may alarm some readers by its scope, but it was found impossible to give a true impression of modern Austria and Hungary without tracing their connection with the extinct Holy Roman Empire and the modern German one, or without following, from its earliest stages, the career of the House of Habsburg. The key to the situa tion lies to a great extent in the historical evolution of the various parts of the Dual Monarchy and in their relations to the ruling house.

Book Description
Excerpt from Austria-Hungary IT is sometimes said that Englishmen as a rule know comparatively little of foreign countries and of probably no other foreign country of the same importance - pre senting so many points of interest to us, or having so many claims on our attention, do we actually know so little as of Austria of the present day. When we think of it, it is rather of the Austria of the past than of the present - the Austria of before 1848 or 1866 - the absolute monarchy the oppressor of nationalities the suppressor of free institutions, and of nearly every form of liberty among its people; the upholder of harassing restrictions against trade, commerce, and industry and in fine so conservative of everything old and established, and so little given to change, as to merit the designation of the China of Europe.
