Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Protestantism in Germany
There is a very large German literature on the origin and development of the territorial system, but I am not aware of any English work cover ing the same ground. The requirements of the lecture platform have compelled me to restrict myself to the more outstanding features of the subject and to a limited number of references, and to pass over many details of fact and opinion that might have been profitably introduced in a formal history. I have also thought it best to allow German scholars to speak in their own words very frequently lest I might seem to have been guilty of misrepresentation.
Finally, I wish to thank the Faculty of Prince ton Theological Seminary for the many kind nesses I have experienced at their hands, and especially for the high honor they conferred upon me in inviting me in 1916-17 to deliver as lec tures on the L. P. Stone Foundation the chapters of this volume.
