dvantage of access to original
sources of information in the archives of Prussia, Hanover, Hesse
Cassel, and Nassau, and the State papers and diplomatic correspondence
preserved in the foreign office at Berlin. His history, therefore, may
be accepted as _absolutely authentic_, and that it has been so accepted
is shown by the universal chorus of praise from German critics which
greeted its first appearance, and by the fact that within two months of
publication fifty thousand copies were sold. Sybel's style is remarkably
smooth and attractive, full of vigor, life, and movement, and it has
been admirably rendered into idiomatic English by Professor Perrin,
whose long residence in Germany made the language like his mother tongue
to him. Finely engraved portraits of the Emperors William I., Frederick,
and William II., and of Bismarck and Moltke, give additional value to
the volumes.

"Since the death of Ranke, Von Sybel has occupied unquestionably
the first rank among German historians."--_American Hebrew._

"The translation of this admirable history is very well done
indeed. It reflects few of the German involutions, and reads
smoothly and flowingly. Of the history itself, it must be said that
nothing comparable to it in fulness, clearness, trustworthiness,
and vigor, has been written concerning the great events of which it
treats."--_N. Y. Tribune._

"No reason to believe that it will be superseded during the present
generation."--_N. Y. Sun._

"_No more important historical work has appeared in the last
decade._"--Nation.
