Book Description
Excerpt from My Four Years in Germany AM writing what should have been the last chapter of this book as a foreword because I want to bring home to our people the gravity of the situation; because I want to tell them that the military and naval power of the German Empire is unbroken; that of the twelve million men whom the Kaiser has called to the colours but one million, five hundred thousand have been killed, five hundred thousand permanently disabled, not more than five hundred thousand are prisoners of war, and about five hundred thousand constitute the number of wounded or those on the sick list of each day, leaving at all times about nine million effectives under arms. I state these figures because Americans do not grasp either the magnitude or the importance of this war. Perhaps the statement that over five million prisoners of war are held in the various countries will bring home to Americans the enormous mass of men engaged.

Book Description
Excerpt from Impressions of Germany I have not ventured this volume without a pur pose. After several years' residence in Germany, I returned home and was surprised to find how little people in, general knew of German life. A vague idea of beer-drinking students thick-headed emigrant peasants, metaphysics and philosophy no one can understand, with a cloud of pipe-smoke enveloping the whole, seemed tome the received impression of a people, who yearly have been pouring into our land, bringing with them their thrift and talent. That there be truth in the general conception no one can deny, but that all the sweet amenities of life spring up in its domestic relations, that there is a charm living in a country where every rood of land teems with poetry and historic lore, does not re quire me to tell. That the constancy of their affec tions and the goodness of their nature commands our respect, has so impressed me, that I have ventured to print my rambling thoughts. So many of my country-women are finding their way to Germany, perhaps a few remarks by one of their kind may prove useful. I do not pretend to convey anything but passing impressions, but such as they are, they may awaken in some a wish, as one of their own writers has beautifully expressed it: To lift the veil that shrouds this romantic land, or it may give some idea of common life as they will find it.

Book Description
Excerpt from Changing Germany The publication of another book about Germany in connection with the war may require some explanation, even if defence is difficult. It may therefore be well to state that the following chapters, written to please no one and at nobody's invitation, were the outcome of a disappointment. When, upon the outbreak of war, I was compelled hastily to quit my home in Charlottenburg, leaving behind me books and clothes, and even a carefully packed trunk which had been intended to accompany me to the "only unexploited valley in the Canton Valais" (an annual illusion whose destruction is, however, rarely unpleasant), I found that, for a time at any rate, there was nothing to do but take a holiday, the first long holiday in England for thirteen years.

Book Description
Excerpt from Germany From the Earliest Period, Vol. 2 of 4 The touching appeals of the emperor to his son being disregarded, he put himself at the head of his troops and marched against him. The cities remained faithful to their allegiance, and closed their gates against the rebellious prince, with the exception of Nuremberg, which was be trayed to him by the Jews, and almost entirely destroyed. Both armies met not far from Ratisbon, and the emperor, discovering that he was betrayed by his own followers, fled, perhaps too hastily, in the sorrow of his heart. He had still numerous adherents in the Rhine country, and his son, find ing force unavailing, attempted by cunning to oblige him voluntarily to abdicate the throne, and proposed a confer ence at Coblentz. The emperor came; but struck to the heart at the sight of his ungrateful child, flung himself at his feet, exclaiming, My son, my son, if I am to be pun ished by God for my sins, at least stain not thine honor, for it is unseemly in a son to sit in judgment over his father's sins. The prince, with assumed remorse, entreated his forgiveness, and, under pretense of accompanying him to the diet at Mayence, found means to separate him from his attendants, and to shut him up at Bingen, where he, was re quired by the archbishops of Mayence and of Cologne, and the bishop of Worms, to give up the crown jewels. The aged emperor, finding his entreaties vain, placed the jewels. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from First Year German I take pleasure in acknowledging my obligations to the per sons from whom I have had aid. Mr. M. Grant Daniell did me the favor to read a part of the proof-sheets with his accustomed care. Miss Frida von Unwerth, of the Ethical Culture School, New York, read the proof-sheets and prepared the general vocab ularies. To Miss Anna B. Eckstein, Principal of the Modern School of Languages, Boston, I owe heartiest thanks for her cor rections, criticisms, and suggestions, especially in connection with the proof-reading of the exercises. Her thorough knowledge of her own language, combined with her insight as a teacher, has made this help invaluable.
