Treitschke - 1915 - Confessions of Frederick the Great
And Frederick, too,
in his way, led this double life of the men of the
French enlightenment. ^ His was that tragic fate
to think and to speak in two languages, neither
of which did he absolutely master. The crude
gibberish which was shouted at the Tahakskolle-
gium (smoking club, or the Tobacco Parliament
of Frederick William I of Prussia) of his father
seemed to the beauty-intoxicated youth just as
offensive as the ponderous literary German of
the learned pedantism which he came to know from
the works of orthodox theologists; good or evil,
he contented himself with this clumsy language,
discharged passing business now in rough dialect,
now in stiff pulpit-style.
For the world of ideas, with which his head
bubbled over, he found worthy expression only in
the language of cosmopolitan culture. He knew
well that his bizarre and Teutonic^ Muse spoke a
barbaric French, and in the consciousness of this
weakness estimated the art-worth of his verses
at a lower value than they deserved. The one
thing, at least, which makes the poet, the protean
gift, was in no way denied him. His Muse com-
manded the whole scale of emotions; she now
expressed with lofty earnestness the great and
noble, now, in a satirical mood, with the mischiev-
ousness of an elf -- or, to tell the truth, with the
' The period of Voltaire, the period preceding the Revolution,
humanistic in character.

and tormented her victim. And yet instinct tells
him that the richness of his mind does not flow so
full and clear in his verses as in the notes of
his flute; the fullest melody, the deepest feeling
were unattainable to the German in the foreign
language.
The philosopher of Sans Souci never became
quite at home in the foreign culture which he so
earnestly admired. Above all, the strictness of
his moral conception of the world divided him
from his French companions. It is the greatness
of Protestantism, that it imperiously commands
or requires the unity of thought and will, the unity
of the religious and moral life.
Frederick's moral training was too deeply
rooted in the German Protestant life not to per-
ceive the secret weakness of the French philosophy.
He viewed the Church with a more liberal mind
than the Catholic Voltaire, who, in his Henriade,
the gospel of the new toleration, in the end arrived
at the conclusion that all respectable people
should belong to the Roman Church ; he had never,
as Voltaire, bowed his neck to religious forms
which his conscience condemned, and could endure
with the calm serenity of the born heretic the fact
that the Roman Curia placed his works on the
Index of forbidden books. Although he from
time to time condescendingly defined philosophy
as his hobby, yet the reflection on the great prob-
lems of existence was far more to him than an

ingenious pastime; in the fashion of the ancients,
he sought and found in intellectual work the rest
of the mind at peace with itself, that lofty superior-
ity of the soul to all vicissitudes of fortune.
After the errors of his passionate youth, he soon
learned to subdue that impulse of artistic tender-
ness and sensuality, which threatened to drive
him to epicurean pleasures. Boldly as scorn and
scepticism stirred in his head, the moral order of
the Universe, the idea of duty, remained inviolable
to him. The terrible earnestness of his life, wholly
dedicated to duty, was divided as by all the breadth
of heaven from the effeminate and loose morals
of the Parisian enlightenment. As his writings
-- in that clear and sharp style, which at times
becomes trivial, but never vague -- always irre-
sistibly aimed at a certain decided and palpable
conclusion, so he wished to fashion his life accord-
ing to what he recognized as truth; as far as the
opposition of a barbaric world allowed, he sought
to ensure in State and Society a humane concep-
tion of things, which he called the cardinal virtue
of every thinking being, and went to meet death
with the calm consciousness "of leaving the world
loaded with my good deeds. "
For all that, he never succeeded in wholly over-
coming the duality of his mind. The struggle
within betrays itself in Frederick's biting wit,
which came out so harshly because the hero in
his arrogant directness never thought of hiding it.

does it appear so difficult to understand as in the
richness of this dual mind. The King looks down
with superior irony on the coarse ignorance of his
Brandenburg nobility; he breathes freely when
he can refresh himself from the boredom of this
unintellectual company with the one man to
whom he looks up admiringly, the Master of the
French poetry; at the same time he recognized
what he owed to the sword of that rude race, he
could not find sufficient words to praise the cour-
age, the fidelity, the honourableness of his nobility;
he curbs his jeering before the stern Biblical
faith of old Zieten. The French are welcome
guests for the cheerful after-dinner hours; his
respect belongs to the Germans.
No one of the foreign companions got so near
to the heart of Frederick as that " Seelenmensch " ^
Winterfeldt, who courageously maintained his
German nature even against his royal friend. In
his letters Frederick often yearned for the new
Athens away on the Seine, and bewailed the envy
of jealous gods, who had condemned the son of
the Muse to rule over slaves in the Cimmerian
land of the North. And yet he shared as patiently
as his father the troubles and cares of this wretched
people, glad from the bottom of his heart of the new
life which was springing up under the rough fists
of his peasants, and cried proudly: "I prefer our
simplicity, even our poverty, to those damned
riches which corrupt the dignity of our race. "

Woe to the foreign poets if they presumed to give
the King political advice; hard and scornful he
waved them back to the limits of their art.
Vigorously as he was occupied with the ideas of
the modern France, he was only a great author
when he was expressing German thoughts in
French words, when he spoke as a German Prince
and General in his political, military, and historical
works. Not in the foreign school, but through his
own strength and an unrivalled experience, Fred-
erick became the first publicist of our eighteenth
century, the only German who approached the
State with creative criticism, and spoke of the
duties of the citizen in lofty style: no one before
of that people without a country had known how
to speak so warmly and deeply as the author of the
Letters of Philopatros about the love of the Father-
land.
The old King no longer considered it worth the
trouble to climb down from the height of his
French Parnassus into the lowlands of the German
Muse, and judge with his own eyes whether the
poetical art of his people was not awakened at
last. In his essays on German Literature, six years
before his death, he repeated the old impeach-
ment of the fastidious Parisian critic against the
undisciplined wildness of the German language,
and dismissed the horrible platitudes of Gotz von
Berlichingen, which he had hardly read, with
words of contempt. And yet this infamous dis-
cussion itself gives an eloquent proof of the passion-

ate national pride of the hero. He prophesied
for the future of Germany a period of intellectual
fame, which already irradiated the unsuspecting
nation with its dawning glory. As Moses he sees
the Promised Land lying in the distance, and
concludes hopefully: "Perhaps the late-comers
will surpass all their predecessors. " So close and
so distant, so foreign and so familiar, was the
relationship of Germany's greatest King to his
people.
The great period of the old monarchy was set-
ting. Round the King it became more and more
silent; the heroes who had fought his battles, the
friends who had laughed and revelled with him,
sank one after the other into the grave ; loneliness,
the curse of the great, came over him. He was
never accustomed to spare with his irony any
single human emotion ; for all the rapturous dreams
of his own youth had been trampled underfoot by
his pitiless father. In old age inconsiderate auster-
ity became inexorable harshness. The stern old
man, who in his rare leisure hoiH"s paced along the
picture-gallery at Sans Souci with his greyhounds,
or in the round temple of the Park dwelt dejectedly
on his dead sister, saw far beneath his feet a new
generation of tiny human beings growing up
aroimd him : they must fear him and obey him ; he
was indifferent to their love. The preponderance
of one man weighed oppressively on the people.

ence to be swallowed up; everyone gazed towards
that place in the parterre where sat the failing old
man, with the large, hard eyes. When the news
of his death came, a Swabian peasant, from the
hearts of countless Germans, cried: "Who will
rule the world now? "
To his last breath all the will-power of the
Prussian Monarchy emanated from this one man;
the day of his death was the first day of rest of his
life. His will told the nation once more how differ-
ently from the domestic politics of the minor
courts was the HohenzoUerns' idea of kingship:
"My last wishes at the moment of my death will
concern the happiness of this State ; may it be the
happiest of States through the mildness of its
laws, the most justly administered in its internal
affairs, the most valiantly defended by an army
which breathes only honour and noble fame, and
may it last and flourish imtil the end of time. "
A century and a half had elapsed since a Fred-
erick William sought among the fragments of the
old Empire the first materials for the building of
the modern Great Power. Hundreds of thousands
of Prussians had found a hero's death, colossal
labour had been expended on the establishment
of the new German kingdom, and at least one
rich blessing of these terrible struggles was felt
forcibly in the Empire: the nation felt at home
again, mistress on her own soil. A long-missed
feeling of safety beautified life for the Germans in
the Empire; it seemed to them as if this Prussia

was destined by Nature to protect the peaceftil
industries of the nation with its shield against all
foreign disturbers. Without this strong feeling
of national ease our German poetry woiild never
have found the joyous courage to achieve great
things.
Public opinion began gradually to be reconciled
to the State which had grown up against their will;
one took it up as a necessity of German life, with-
out troubling much about its future. The difficult
question : how such a bold conception of the State
could be maintained without the invigorating
strength of genius? -- was only seriously raised by
one contemporary, by Mirabeau, The old and
new epochs gave each other a friendly greeting
once more, when the tribune of the approaching
revolution stayed at Sans Souci, shortly before
the death of the King. With the glowing colour-
splendour of his rhetoric, Mirabeau portrayed the
greatest man he had ever beheld; he called Fred-
erick's State a truly noble work of art, the one
State of the present which could seriously occupy
a brilliant mind; but it did not escape him that
this daring building unfortunately rested on much
too weak a foundation. The Prussians of those
days could not understand such uncertainty; the
glory of the Frederician epoch seemed so wonderful
that even this most fault-finding of all European
peoples was blinded by it.
For the next generation the fame of Frederick
proved fatal; men lived in delusive security, and

forgot that only renewed hard labour could uphold
the work of unutterable toil. But when the days
of shame and trial came, the Prussian again
experienced the surviving efficacy of Genius; the
memory of Rossbach and Leuthen was the last
moral force which kept the leaking ship of the
German Monarchy above water; and when the
State once more took up arms for the struggle of
despair, a South-German poet saw the figure of
the great King descend from the clouds, and call
to the people: "Up, my Prussians! Under my
flag! and you shall be greater than your ancestors ! "

? TREITSCHKE AS A HISTORIAN
Lord Acton says of Treitschke :
"He is the one writer of history who is more bril-
liant and more powerful than Droysen: he writes
with the force and incisiveness of Mommsen. "
Heinrich von Treitschke (1834- 1896) was a
Saxon who in 1863 became Professor at Freiburg, in
Baden, and in 1866 became a Prussian subject and
editor of the Preussische Jahrbiicher. After being a
Professor at Kiel and Heidelberg, in 1874 he became
Professor at Berlin. From 1871 he was a Member of
the Reichstag. At first a Liberal, he became the chief
panegyrist of the House of Hohenzollern. According
to the EncyclopcEdia Britannica: "He did more than
anyone to mould the minds of the rising generation,
and he carried them with him even in his violent
attacks on all opinions and all parties which appeared
in any way to be injurious to the rising power of
Germany. He supported the Government in its
attempts to subdue by legislation the Socialists, Poles,
and Catholics; and he was one of the few men of
eminence who gave the sanction of his name to the
attacks on the Jews which began in 1878. As a
strong advocate of colonial expansion he was also a
bitter enemy of Great Britain, and he was to a large
extent responsible for the anti-British feeling into

? 2o8 Treitschke as a Historian
which so much of German Chauvinism was directed
during the last years of the nineteenth century. "
"As a historian," says the E. B. , "Treitschke holds
a very high place. His work, indeed, lies entirely in
the history of the last two centuries. He approached
history as a politician ; he had none of the passion for
research for its own sake, and confined himself to those
periods and characters in which great political prob-
lems were being worked out; above all, he was a
patriotic historian, and he never wandered far from
Prussia. His great achievement was the History of
Germany in the Nineteenth Century. The first volume
was published in 1879, and during the next sixteen
years four more volumes appeared, but at his death he
had only advanced to the year 1847. It will remain a
fragment, and it is much to be regretted that he did
not live to complete the account of the Revolution, in
which he would have had a subject worthy of his
peculiar powers. The work shows extreme diligence,
scrupulous care in the use of authorities, and in the
years he covered he has left little for future historians
to discover. It is too discursive and is badly arranged,
but it is marked by a power of style, a vigour of
narrative, and a skill in delineation of character which
give life to the most unattractive period of German
history; notwithstanding the extreme spirit of par-
tisanship and some faults of taste, it will remain a
remarkable monument of literary ability. Besides
this he wrote a number of biographical and historical
essays, as well as numerous articles and papers on
questions rising out of contemporary politics, of which
some are valuable contributions to political thought,
while others are political controversy not always of
the best kind. "

The works of this great German historian
have shaped the present policy of Germany in
its attempt to secure a dominating influence in
Europe and throughout the world. The follow-
ing is a brief summary of the subjects presented
in this distinctive work :
I. Treitschke's Life and Work, by Adolf

6. In Memory of the Great War. 7. Germany

Point of View. 10. On Liberty.
Treitschke was a close friend of Bismarck, and
his list of pupils include the political and military
leaders of the present generation, such as the
Emperor William, Bernhardi, and others.
Lord Acton says of Treitschke: "He is the
one writer of history who is more brilliant and

From the English Point of View

Author of " Egypt and the English," etc.
With an Appendix
Great Britain and the War
By A. Maurice Low, M. A.
Author of " The American People," etc.
300 pages, 12? , Cloth $100
Mr. Sladen has taken as his text a pamphlet which, while not
formally published, has been widely circulated in the United Statesj
entitled The Truth About Germany. This pamphlet was prepared
in Germany under the supervision of a Committee of Repre-
sentative Germans, and may fairly be described as the "official
justification of the War. " Care has been taken to prevent copies
from finding their way into England, which has caused Mr. Sladen
to describe the pamphlet as The Secret White Paper. He has taken
up one by one the statements of the German writers, and has
shown how little foundation most of these statements have and
how misleading are others which contain some element of truth.
In answering the German statements, Mr. Sladen has naturally
taken the opportunity to state clearly the case of England. England
claims that it was impossible to avoid going into this struggle if
it was to keep faith with and fulfill its obligations to Belgium
and Luxemburg. Apart from this duty, it is the conviction of
England, that it is fighting not only in fulfillment of obligations
and to prevent France from being crushed for a second time, but
for self-preservation. The German threat has been made openly
" first Paris, then London. "
In order that the case for England may be complete, the pub-
lishers have added an essay by the well-known historian, A. Maurice
Low. As the title. Great Britain and the War, indicates, England's
attitude toward the great conflict is clearly portrayed, and her
reasons for joining therein are ably presented.

in his way, led this double life of the men of the
French enlightenment. ^ His was that tragic fate
to think and to speak in two languages, neither
of which did he absolutely master. The crude
gibberish which was shouted at the Tahakskolle-
gium (smoking club, or the Tobacco Parliament
of Frederick William I of Prussia) of his father
seemed to the beauty-intoxicated youth just as
offensive as the ponderous literary German of
the learned pedantism which he came to know from
the works of orthodox theologists; good or evil,
he contented himself with this clumsy language,
discharged passing business now in rough dialect,
now in stiff pulpit-style.
For the world of ideas, with which his head
bubbled over, he found worthy expression only in
the language of cosmopolitan culture. He knew
well that his bizarre and Teutonic^ Muse spoke a
barbaric French, and in the consciousness of this
weakness estimated the art-worth of his verses
at a lower value than they deserved. The one
thing, at least, which makes the poet, the protean
gift, was in no way denied him. His Muse com-
manded the whole scale of emotions; she now
expressed with lofty earnestness the great and
noble, now, in a satirical mood, with the mischiev-
ousness of an elf -- or, to tell the truth, with the

and tormented her victim. And yet instinct tells
him that the richness of his mind does not flow so
full and clear in his verses as in the notes of
his flute; the fullest melody, the deepest feeling
were unattainable to the German in the foreign
language.
The philosopher of Sans Souci never became
quite at home in the foreign culture which he so
earnestly admired. Above all, the strictness of
his moral conception of the world divided him
from his French companions. It is the greatness
of Protestantism, that it imperiously commands
or requires the unity of thought and will, the unity
of the religious and moral life.
Frederick's moral training was too deeply
rooted in the German Protestant life not to per-
ceive the secret weakness of the French philosophy.
He viewed the Church with a more liberal mind
than the Catholic Voltaire, who, in his Henriade,
the gospel of the new toleration, in the end arrived
at the conclusion that all respectable people
should belong to the Roman Church ; he had never,
as Voltaire, bowed his neck to religious forms
which his conscience condemned, and could endure
with the calm serenity of the born heretic the fact
that the Roman Curia placed his works on the
Index of forbidden books. Although he from
time to time condescendingly defined philosophy
as his hobby, yet the reflection on the great prob-
lems of existence was far more to him than an

ingenious pastime; in the fashion of the ancients,
he sought and found in intellectual work the rest
of the mind at peace with itself, that lofty superior-
ity of the soul to all vicissitudes of fortune.
After the errors of his passionate youth, he soon
learned to subdue that impulse of artistic tender-
ness and sensuality, which threatened to drive
him to epicurean pleasures. Boldly as scorn and
scepticism stirred in his head, the moral order of
the Universe, the idea of duty, remained inviolable
to him. The terrible earnestness of his life, wholly
dedicated to duty, was divided as by all the breadth
of heaven from the effeminate and loose morals
of the Parisian enlightenment. As his writings
-- in that clear and sharp style, which at times
becomes trivial, but never vague -- always irre-
sistibly aimed at a certain decided and palpable
conclusion, so he wished to fashion his life accord-
ing to what he recognized as truth; as far as the
opposition of a barbaric world allowed, he sought
to ensure in State and Society a humane concep-
tion of things, which he called the cardinal virtue
of every thinking being, and went to meet death
with the calm consciousness "of leaving the world
loaded with my good deeds. "
For all that, he never succeeded in wholly over-
coming the duality of his mind. The struggle
within betrays itself in Frederick's biting wit,
which came out so harshly because the hero in
his arrogant directness never thought of hiding it.

does it appear so difficult to understand as in the
richness of this dual mind. The King looks down
with superior irony on the coarse ignorance of his
Brandenburg nobility; he breathes freely when
he can refresh himself from the boredom of this
unintellectual company with the one man to
whom he looks up admiringly, the Master of the
French poetry; at the same time he recognized
what he owed to the sword of that rude race, he
could not find sufficient words to praise the cour-
age, the fidelity, the honourableness of his nobility;
he curbs his jeering before the stern Biblical
faith of old Zieten. The French are welcome
guests for the cheerful after-dinner hours; his
respect belongs to the Germans.
No one of the foreign companions got so near
to the heart of Frederick as that " Seelenmensch " ^
Winterfeldt, who courageously maintained his
German nature even against his royal friend. In
his letters Frederick often yearned for the new
Athens away on the Seine, and bewailed the envy
of jealous gods, who had condemned the son of
the Muse to rule over slaves in the Cimmerian
land of the North. And yet he shared as patiently
as his father the troubles and cares of this wretched
people, glad from the bottom of his heart of the new
life which was springing up under the rough fists
of his peasants, and cried proudly: "I prefer our
simplicity, even our poverty, to those damned
riches which corrupt the dignity of our race. "

Woe to the foreign poets if they presumed to give
the King political advice; hard and scornful he
waved them back to the limits of their art.
Vigorously as he was occupied with the ideas of
the modern France, he was only a great author
when he was expressing German thoughts in
French words, when he spoke as a German Prince
and General in his political, military, and historical
works. Not in the foreign school, but through his
own strength and an unrivalled experience, Fred-
erick became the first publicist of our eighteenth
century, the only German who approached the
State with creative criticism, and spoke of the
duties of the citizen in lofty style: no one before
of that people without a country had known how
to speak so warmly and deeply as the author of the
Letters of Philopatros about the love of the Father-
land.
The old King no longer considered it worth the
trouble to climb down from the height of his
French Parnassus into the lowlands of the German
Muse, and judge with his own eyes whether the
poetical art of his people was not awakened at
last. In his essays on German Literature, six years
before his death, he repeated the old impeach-
ment of the fastidious Parisian critic against the
undisciplined wildness of the German language,
and dismissed the horrible platitudes of Gotz von
Berlichingen, which he had hardly read, with
words of contempt. And yet this infamous dis-
cussion itself gives an eloquent proof of the passion-

ate national pride of the hero. He prophesied
for the future of Germany a period of intellectual
fame, which already irradiated the unsuspecting
nation with its dawning glory. As Moses he sees
the Promised Land lying in the distance, and
concludes hopefully: "Perhaps the late-comers
will surpass all their predecessors. " So close and
so distant, so foreign and so familiar, was the
relationship of Germany's greatest King to his
people.
The great period of the old monarchy was set-
ting. Round the King it became more and more
silent; the heroes who had fought his battles, the
friends who had laughed and revelled with him,
sank one after the other into the grave ; loneliness,
the curse of the great, came over him. He was
never accustomed to spare with his irony any
single human emotion ; for all the rapturous dreams
of his own youth had been trampled underfoot by
his pitiless father. In old age inconsiderate auster-
ity became inexorable harshness. The stern old
man, who in his rare leisure hoiH"s paced along the
picture-gallery at Sans Souci with his greyhounds,
or in the round temple of the Park dwelt dejectedly
on his dead sister, saw far beneath his feet a new
generation of tiny human beings growing up
aroimd him : they must fear him and obey him ; he
was indifferent to their love. The preponderance
of one man weighed oppressively on the people.

ence to be swallowed up; everyone gazed towards
that place in the parterre where sat the failing old
man, with the large, hard eyes. When the news
of his death came, a Swabian peasant, from the
hearts of countless Germans, cried: "Who will
rule the world now? "
To his last breath all the will-power of the
Prussian Monarchy emanated from this one man;
the day of his death was the first day of rest of his
life. His will told the nation once more how differ-
ently from the domestic politics of the minor
courts was the HohenzoUerns' idea of kingship:
"My last wishes at the moment of my death will
concern the happiness of this State ; may it be the
happiest of States through the mildness of its
laws, the most justly administered in its internal
affairs, the most valiantly defended by an army
which breathes only honour and noble fame, and
may it last and flourish imtil the end of time. "
A century and a half had elapsed since a Fred-
erick William sought among the fragments of the
old Empire the first materials for the building of
the modern Great Power. Hundreds of thousands
of Prussians had found a hero's death, colossal
labour had been expended on the establishment
of the new German kingdom, and at least one
rich blessing of these terrible struggles was felt
forcibly in the Empire: the nation felt at home
again, mistress on her own soil. A long-missed
feeling of safety beautified life for the Germans in
the Empire; it seemed to them as if this Prussia

was destined by Nature to protect the peaceftil
industries of the nation with its shield against all
foreign disturbers. Without this strong feeling
of national ease our German poetry woiild never
have found the joyous courage to achieve great
things.
Public opinion began gradually to be reconciled
to the State which had grown up against their will;
one took it up as a necessity of German life, with-
out troubling much about its future. The difficult
question : how such a bold conception of the State
could be maintained without the invigorating
strength of genius? -- was only seriously raised by
one contemporary, by Mirabeau, The old and
new epochs gave each other a friendly greeting
once more, when the tribune of the approaching
revolution stayed at Sans Souci, shortly before
the death of the King. With the glowing colour-
splendour of his rhetoric, Mirabeau portrayed the
greatest man he had ever beheld; he called Fred-
erick's State a truly noble work of art, the one
State of the present which could seriously occupy
a brilliant mind; but it did not escape him that
this daring building unfortunately rested on much
too weak a foundation. The Prussians of those
days could not understand such uncertainty; the
glory of the Frederician epoch seemed so wonderful
that even this most fault-finding of all European
peoples was blinded by it.
For the next generation the fame of Frederick
proved fatal; men lived in delusive security, and

forgot that only renewed hard labour could uphold
the work of unutterable toil. But when the days
of shame and trial came, the Prussian again
experienced the surviving efficacy of Genius; the
memory of Rossbach and Leuthen was the last
moral force which kept the leaking ship of the
German Monarchy above water; and when the
State once more took up arms for the struggle of
despair, a South-German poet saw the figure of
the great King descend from the clouds, and call
to the people: "Up, my Prussians! Under my
flag! and you shall be greater than your ancestors ! "

? TREITSCHKE AS A HISTORIAN
Lord Acton says of Treitschke :
"He is the one writer of history who is more bril-
liant and more powerful than Droysen: he writes
with the force and incisiveness of Mommsen. "
Heinrich von Treitschke (1834- 1896) was a
Saxon who in 1863 became Professor at Freiburg, in
Baden, and in 1866 became a Prussian subject and
editor of the Preussische Jahrbiicher. After being a
Professor at Kiel and Heidelberg, in 1874 he became
Professor at Berlin. From 1871 he was a Member of
the Reichstag. At first a Liberal, he became the chief
panegyrist of the House of Hohenzollern. According
to the EncyclopcEdia Britannica: "He did more than
anyone to mould the minds of the rising generation,
and he carried them with him even in his violent
attacks on all opinions and all parties which appeared
in any way to be injurious to the rising power of
Germany. He supported the Government in its
attempts to subdue by legislation the Socialists, Poles,
and Catholics; and he was one of the few men of
eminence who gave the sanction of his name to the
attacks on the Jews which began in 1878. As a
strong advocate of colonial expansion he was also a
bitter enemy of Great Britain, and he was to a large
extent responsible for the anti-British feeling into

? 2o8 Treitschke as a Historian
which so much of German Chauvinism was directed
during the last years of the nineteenth century. "
"As a historian," says the E. B. , "Treitschke holds
a very high place. His work, indeed, lies entirely in
the history of the last two centuries. He approached
history as a politician ; he had none of the passion for
research for its own sake, and confined himself to those
periods and characters in which great political prob-
lems were being worked out; above all, he was a
patriotic historian, and he never wandered far from
Prussia. His great achievement was the History of
Germany in the Nineteenth Century. The first volume
was published in 1879, and during the next sixteen
years four more volumes appeared, but at his death he
had only advanced to the year 1847. It will remain a
fragment, and it is much to be regretted that he did
not live to complete the account of the Revolution, in
which he would have had a subject worthy of his
peculiar powers. The work shows extreme diligence,
scrupulous care in the use of authorities, and in the
years he covered he has left little for future historians
to discover. It is too discursive and is badly arranged,
but it is marked by a power of style, a vigour of
narrative, and a skill in delineation of character which
give life to the most unattractive period of German
history; notwithstanding the extreme spirit of par-
tisanship and some faults of taste, it will remain a
remarkable monument of literary ability. Besides
this he wrote a number of biographical and historical
essays, as well as numerous articles and papers on
questions rising out of contemporary politics, of which
some are valuable contributions to political thought,
while others are political controversy not always of
the best kind. "

The works of this great German historian
have shaped the present policy of Germany in
its attempt to secure a dominating influence in
Europe and throughout the world. The follow-

in this distinctive work :
I. Treitschke's Life and Work, by Adolf

6. In Memory of the Great War. 7. Germany

Point of View. 10. On Liberty.
Treitschke was a close friend of Bismarck, and
his list of pupils include the political and military
leaders of the present generation, such as the
Emperor William, Bernhardi, and others.
Lord Acton says of Treitschke: "He is the
one writer of history who is more brilliant and

From the English Point of View

Author of " Egypt and the English," etc.
With an Appendix
Great Britain and the War
By A. Maurice Low, M. A.
Author of " The American People," etc.
300 pages, 12? , Cloth $100
Mr. Sladen has taken as his text a pamphlet which, while not
formally published, has been widely circulated in the United Statesj
entitled The Truth About Germany. This pamphlet was prepared
in Germany under the supervision of a Committee of Repre-
sentative Germans, and may fairly be described as the "official
justification of the War. " Care has been taken to prevent copies
from finding their way into England, which has caused Mr. Sladen
to describe the pamphlet as The Secret White Paper. He has taken
up one by one the statements of the German writers, and has
shown how little foundation most of these statements have and
how misleading are others which contain some element of truth.
In answering the German statements, Mr. Sladen has naturally
taken the opportunity to state clearly the case of England. England
claims that it was impossible to avoid going into this struggle if
it was to keep faith with and fulfill its obligations to Belgium
and Luxemburg. Apart from this duty, it is the conviction of
England, that it is fighting not only in fulfillment of obligations
and to prevent France from being crushed for a second time, but
for self-preservation. The German threat has been made openly
" first Paris, then London. "
In order that the case for England may be complete, the pub-
lishers have added an essay by the well-known historian, A. Maurice
Low. As the title. Great Britain and the War, indicates, England's
attitude toward the great conflict is clearly portrayed, and her
reasons for joining therein are ably presented.
