On Bismarck's financial policy after 1878, see O. Schneider's
monograph in Schmoller's Jahrbuch for 1910 and 1912: for the
Kulturkampf, see G. Goyau, Le Kulturkampf, P. Majunke, Der
Kulturkampf, and Lefebre de Behaine, Lion XIII. et le Prince de
Bismarck.
For some other aspects of Bismarck, see H. Poschinger, Die
Tischgespra? che des Reichskanzlers (Eng. transl. with introd. by
S. Whitman), and Neu* Tischgespra? che (1 vol. ), and Also sprach
Bismarck (2 vols. ).
Of the secondary authorities for the period up to 1848, see
the German history chapters in A. Stern, Geschichte Europa's seit
1815 (vols, i. -vii. ); and generally for the whole period, H. Oncken,
Das Zeitalter Kaiser's Wilhelm I. ; H. v. Zweideneck-Su? denhorst,

Der Kampf um die Vorherrschaft in Deutschland (1857-1866), 2 vols. ;

subsequently, but in spite of omissions, it remains indispensable.
Of the works of H. v. Treitschke, the Deutsche Geschichte does not
deal with the period of or after 1848; but his Zehn Jahre deutscher
Ka? mpfe; the Histor. und politische Aufsa? tze (2 vols. ), the pamphlet
Was fo? rdern wir von Frankreich, and the Politik (Eng. transl. )
are more than instructive; they are essential for understanding
the German point of view. Much the best history in English is that
by Sir A. Ward, Germany, 1815-1871 (2 vols. , Camb. Hist. Series--
taking events down to 1871).
For the more recent history: H. Blum, Das Deutsche Reich
zur Zeit Bismarck's; G. Egelhaaf, Geschichte der neuesten Zeit;
H. Mu? nz, Von Bismarck bis Bu? low; and P. Rohrbach, Bismarck
und Wir; and C. Andler (and others), Les origines du Panger-
manisme (a series of volumes in French, which with their lengthy
quotations from German writers, the critical annotations, and the
scholarly bibliographies constitutes a valuable introduction to the
later phases of German political development from 1870 onwards).
For the Schleswig-Holstein affair it must suffice to cite K.
Jansen-K. Sam wer, Schleswig-Holstein's Befreiung. (All the lead-
ing authorities deal with the copious controversial literature. ) A
brief statement of the Danish case will be found in a short Mono-
graph by A. D. Jo? rgensen; reference may also be made to W. R.
Prior, North Sleswick under Prussian Rule. The standard biography
of the Emperor William 1. is that by E. Marcks, and of his son,
* the Crown Prince,' and Emperor Frederick in. by M. Philippson.
For the period 1870-1 and the making of the German Empire,
I have found far the most useful W. Busch, Die Ka? mpfe um
Reichsverfassung und Kaisertum; to which may be added O. Lorenz,
Kaiser Wilhelm und die Begru? ndung des Reiches, I866-1871, which
contains much valuable original material--derived largely from the
Grand-Duke of Baden and the unitarian group of which he was
the head.
On Austrian history, the most useful general guides are two works
by R. Charmatz, Geschichte der auswa? rtigen Politik O? sterreichs
im IQ Jahrhundert (2 vols. ); and Osterreich's innere Geschichte von
184. 8 bis 19OJ (2 vols. ): two others may be mentioned, T. v.
Sosnosky, Die Balkanpolitik O? sterreich-Ungarns seit 1866 (2 vols. ),
and L. Eisenmann, Le Compromis. The well-known works by
Cheradame and Seton-Watson do not specifically bear on Bismarck.
For general purposes K. Meinecke, Weltbu? rgertum und National-
staat, is an illuminating philosophical treatise in historical form
on the development of political thought and principles in Germany
from the French Revolution to Bismarck. It is not easy reading
for those unacquainted with German philosophy, but its treatment
