Page:The Spirit of Russia by T G Masaryk, volume 2.pdf/613



Volume I covering the period 1806 to the middle period of Bismarck's Chancellorship, and Volume II dealing in considerable detail with the twenty-five years preceding the present war.

"The German Empire," a work which has long been in preparation, represents the most important and comprehensive of this author's many contributions to German history and to the understanding of German politics and affairs. It is characteristic of Mr. Dawson's presentation of facts that he devotes special attention to Anglo-German relations and that, while rigidly eschewing controversy, he does not hesitate to give expression to his own views and opinions. As he states in the Preface, "I have not written impersonally, nor have I tried so to write." The work will be found to have a direct and important bearing upon the present international situation.

This book is the first summary in English language of the mineral resources of Georgia and Caucasia, which countries are bound to play a very important part in developing the unlimited resources of the Middle East.

It can be used very conveniently as a reference book for engineers, financiers, and the general investing public, and also by Government Departments.
