Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Secret History of the Austrian Government, and of Its Systematic Persecutions of Protestants If there are studies of the past which are purely retrospective and are only interesting to the learned, there are others which possess all the importance and reality of contemporary history: they explain the present by its origin, and afford the reader the only point of view whence he can judge soberly of facts being done in his sight, or on the point of accomplishment. The situation of Austria, the part she plays in European politics, and the future she is preparing for herself, above all require this illumination. Her history is the least known of all, for the Jesuits, as masters of the country, subtilely and boldly falsified it. Hormayr, director of the Viennese archives during twenty-five years, calls the works hitherto published on this matter "books written to order," and "ready-made fables." Falsehood rules on the banks of the Danube; princes who governed by cunning and brute force were desirous of deceiving future generations.
