Excerpt from History of the German People at the Close of the Middle Ages, Vol. 13: Schools and Universities, Science, Learning and Culture Down to the Beginning of the Thirty Years' WarIT has been the general practice of historians, while basing their history on a groundwork of facts collected by themselves, to deal with those facts each one from his own individual point of View. For myself, I have thought fit to gather together from all directions as much as possible of credible material and facts, but to leave it to the readers to draw their own conclusions and form their own opinions. All the matter which I have here brought forward I consider necessary for the right understanding of the progressive development of the history of the German people and of the conditions of public-affairs, above all of the circumstances of the Thirty Years' War.This method has, however, one drawback it means an accumulation of facts which for the author involved no slight sacrifices and difficulties, and which will very probably prove wearisome to the reader. But the interests of objective truth were at stake, and to this consideration all minor ones had to give way.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
