Europe, Past and Present: A Comprehensive Manual of European Geography and History (Classic Reprint)

As author of several extensive geographical works, which have been successfully published in Germany, my native country, I have ventured to prepare this volume with the view of offering to the American public a guide in European Geography and History. It is superfluous to say that the value of such a work depends entirely upon its authenticity and accuracy :and that these qualities are, especially in Germany, essential to success. In endeavoring to avoid all superficial and unfounded statements, I have hoped also to steer clear of pedantry and prolixity. For such a volume, in the present state of popular information, I should not have felt justified in using any other than original and authentic materials. Fortunately, materials of this kind are not at all lacking in Europe.
