About this book

The text is Book II of the history of the Thirty Years' War in Germany, in the works of Frederick Schiller translated from the German. The history says that from a rebellion in Bohemia, and the chastisement of rebels, a war extended first to Germany, and afterwards to Europe.

The text says Maximilian, adhering throughout the war to one fixed plan, earned the territories and dignities that rewarded his exertions. The text says the formidable monarchy which Charles V. and his son had unnaturally constructed was under Philip III. and Philip IV. fast verging to decay. The text says that Wallenstein, in stately obscurity, silently but not inactively awaited the hour of revenge. A battle passage says Pappenheim advanced at the head of 2000 cuirassiers, though after great reluctance on the part of Tilly and with express orders not to commence a battle.

Friedrich Schiller

Friedrich Schiller (1759-1805) was a German poet, playwright, and historian, and with Goethe a founder of Weimar classicism. His dramas of freedom and moral struggle, and his Ode to Joy set to music by Beethoven, made him one of the most beloved writers in the German language.
