Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from History of the House of Austria: From the Accession of Francis I. To the Revolution of 1848; In Continuation of the History The work which forms the greater part of this volume is in some respects a thing unique in literature. Its author, Count Hartig, a Conservative Austrian statesman, honoured by the confidence of his sovereign, professes to expound the causes of the revolution which lately shook the empire to its foundations. In so doing, he criticises the course of the Imperial administration with a freedom unexampled by any public writer of his class and country; for, except during the chaotic times of 1848 and 1849, it has always been a rule with the Austrian Government to discountenance all comments on its own proceedings, whether on the part of friends or opponents. The work thus singularly characterized is executed with great ability, and must always be valued by the political inquirer as an authoritative exposition of the momentous crisis to which it relates, as seen from an Austrian point of view. It produced an extraordinary excitement when first published, and went through several editions with great rapidity. The work has been translated in compliance with the ad ice and desire of a most distinguished personage, and is presented as a valuable appendix to Coxe´s "History of the House of Austria," already published in the Standard Library. Prefixed is an original epitome of the history of the empire, embracing the period from the accession of the Emperor Francis I. to the close of the war in Hungary, in 1849. In the compilation of this portion of the volume reference has been made to the best and most recent authorities, both English and foreign.
