Excerpt from The Making of Modern Germany: Six Public Lectures Delivered in Chicago in 1915 HE following six lectures were delivered in the year 1915 at the invitation of the University Lecture Association (in cooperation with the University of Chi cago) In preparing them for publication I considered myself free to reshape them, to add, subtract, and fuse, with a view to presenting as close and connected a story of the evolution of modern Germany as was possible under the circumstances. Various features have been added Footnotes, Maps, a Select Bibliography, and a body of eight Appendices of which I entertain the hope that they will be found, each in its own way, to supplement and enhance the text.
