Excerpt from German Historical Prose: Selected and Edited With Notes
These selections, planned as an introduction to the reading of German historical prose, afford a general view of some of the principal crucial periods of German history, wspecially the rise of the House of Hohenzollern and of the modern German Empire. The foremost German historians, Giesebrecht, Droy sen, Ranke, J anssen, Treitschke, Sybel, etc., are drawn upon, each in the field he has made peculiarly his own. To the historical selections it has seemed desirable to prefix a short sketch of German historio graphy by Lindner. The purpose has been to make the selections representative without special regard to difficulty of style. With the periods traversed the editor would have been glad to include, had his limits permitted, The Migration of Peoples, by Felix Dahn, and the Hohenstaufen, by Frederick Baumer.
