Description
Excerpt from The History of Austria, From the Earliest Ages to the Present Time
IN the following pages the author has endeavoured to present to the English reader a connected History of the Austrian dominions. Three great events mark it off into as many distinct periods. In the first, he has rapidly penned the events of its ancient history down to the establishment of the vast empire of Charlemagne; in the second, he has brie?y narrated its struggles in the middle ages down to the reign of Maximilian I.; and in the third, he has delineated, with an increasing fulness of detail, the modern History of Austria to the commencement of the present Italian war. His aim has been to compress the whole within the limits of a single volume, Whose price and size shall attract the general reader; and at the same time to detail the events with sufficient minuteness to render its perusal interesting and instructive.
