Book Description
Excerpt from Life and Times of Stein, or Germany and Prussia in the Napoleonic Age, Vol. 1 of 4 IT is not to set forth the merits of a great man who has been too little known that I write the life of Stein at such an unusual length, but on account of the intrinsic importance of the revolutions in which he took part. It has been my object to consider the transformation of Germany and Prussia in the Napoleonic age, which has usually been contemplated by us only as a part of the life of Napoleon, in its proper place as a part of German history. When I first asked myself how this subject might best be treated, I remarked that it was one which especially needed to be gathered up in a person. I soon satisfied my self that the only person who could be taken in this way to represent his nation and his time was Stein.

Book Description
Excerpt from Life and Times of Stein, Vol. 3 of 4: Or Germany and Prussia in the Napoleonic Age Alas! what boots the long laborious quest Of moral prudence sought through good and ill; Or pains abstruse to elevate the will And lead us on to that transcendent rest Where every passion shall the sway attest Of Reason seated on her sovereign hill; What is it but a vain and curious skill If sapient Germany must lie deprest Beneath the brutal sword? Her haughty schools Shall blush; and may not we with sorrow say, A few strong instincts and a few plain rules Among the herdsmen of the Alps, have wrought More for mankind at this unhappy day Than all the pride of intellect and thought? Wordsworth. The outlaw had only a few hours grace, and was obliged to Set out "not knowing whither he went," but desiring only to escape beyond the range of the French army. He determined to cross into Bohemia, though he could not yet know whether the Austrian Government was disposed to give him shelter. It was in the night of the 5th of January that he set out. He went by Sagan, and on the next day to Bunzlau. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
