The high merits and distinguished character of the original Grerman work by Professor Kohbausch, of which this is a translation, have long been acknowledged. A work which during a period of thirty years has enjoyed so much popularity as to have gone through several editions, embracing a circulation of many thousands of copies; a production which has extended and estabU shed its good repute, even in its original form, far beyond its native cU me, toE ngland, France, Belgium, I taly, A merica, c. (in several of which countries it has been reprinted in German), and has thus become a standard book of reference in almost all the universities and principal public, as well as private educational institutions such a publication possesses ample testimony proving it able to create a lasting interest, and confirming its cboms to consideration and esteem. The aim of the distinguished author in this valuable history is thus simply but distinctly expressed by himself: My sole object, he says, has been to produce a succinct and connected development of the vivid and eventftd course of our countrys history, written in a style calculated to excite the interest and sympathy of my readers, and of such especially who, not seeking to enter upon a very profoimd study of the sources and more elaborate works connected with the annals of our empire, are nevertheless anxious to have presented to them the means of acquiring an accurate knowledge of the records of our Fatherland, in such a form as to leave upon the mind and heart an enduring, indelible impression. oc itzoo Google 3C
