  (Der Deutsche Gedanke in der Welt) By PAUL ROHRBACH Cloth, 12mo, $1.25 Paul Rohrbach has been for several years the most popular author of books on politics and economics in Germany. He is described by his translator as a "constructive optimist," one who, at the same time, is an incisive critic of those shortcomings which have kept Germany, as he thinks, from playing the great part to which she is called. In this volume Dr. Rohrbach gives a true insight into the character of the German people, their aims, fears and aspirations. Though it was written before the war started and has not been hastily put together, it still possesses peculiar significance now, for in its analysis of the German idea of culture and its dissemination, in its consideration of German foreign policies and moral conquests, it is an important contribution to the widespread speculation now current on these matters. "Dr. von Mach renders an extraordinary service to his country in making known to English readers at this time a book like Rohrbach's."—New York Globe. "A clear insight into Prussian ideals."—Boston Transcript. "A valuable, significant, and most informing book."—New York Tribune. THE MACMILLAN COMPANY |
