A History of Germany by Bayard Taylor
When I assented to the request of the publishers that I would edit a new edition of the History of Germany, and write an additional chapter finishing the work down to the present date, I was fully aware of both my own shortcomings and the difficulty of the task. That I undertook it, nevertheless, is because I was strongly tempted to perform what I considered, in my case, an act of piety. Being naturally familiar with the aim and style of this book, I have tried to compile a new chapter in the simple narrative fashion by which the History has commended itself to its readers. In his -Introductory Words- to the original edition the author says: -The History of Germany is not the history of a nation, but of a race. It has little unity, therefore it is complicated, broken, and attached on all sides to the histories of other countries. In its earlier periods it covers the greater part of Europe, and does not return exclusively to Germany until after France, Spain, England and the Italian States have been founded. Thus, even before the fall of the Roman Empire, it becomes the main trunk out of which branch the histories of nearly all European nations, and must of necessity be studied as the connecting link between ancient and modern history. The records of no other race throw so much light upon the development of all civilized lands during a period of fifteen hundred years.Bayard Taylor has worked for Regal Books as an editor, as a writer and ghostwriter, and with Campus Crusade for Christ. He graduated from Whittier College with a bachelor's degree in psychology and a master's degree in divinity. Trinity Evangelical Divinity School awarded him a master's degree in cross-cultural studies. He has worked as an editor and senior editor of biblical and theological topics at Gospel Light/Regal Books for the past ten years.
