Excerpt from The Slavs: Past and Present Poland). Some of them, starting from that original seat, went south and Occupied what is now Hungary and thence went far into the Balkan peninsula. Others went west, far beyond the territory in which stands Berlin - no Germans were there at that and east. The original Slavs were, Of course, not a civilized group of tribes. They were barbarians, just as their west ern neighbors, the Germans, were. The Germans occupied the Roman Empire, destroyed it, took over some rudiments of what they allowed to survive of Roman civilization, and at the same time began to press the Slavs back. They sub dued the outlying Slav countries and turned the population mostly into slaves. Then a German Roman Empire was created, and on its eastern outskirts were formed marches with the special object of fighting the Slavs. On the other hand, from Scandinavia the Vikings were making their way into Russia, while from the east Mongolic invaders, Bulgars and Magyars (the modern Hungarians) were at tacking the southern Slavs, the Magyars conquering Hun gary while the Bulgars subdued some of the Balkan Slavs (seventh century The Magyars extirpated some of the Slavs they conquered and turned others into a subject population (ninth and tenth centuries While those unfortunate victims have kept their Slavic tongue, the Mag yars have stuck to their own language, which they still speak today. The Bulgars accepted the language of the conquered tribes and both groups came finally to form one nation partly of Mongolic, partly of Slavic, descent, but speaking a Slav tongue. Similar was the history of the Vikings in Russia. They organized the country into what we might call a political unit (ninth century). The organ ization was Norse, the bulk of the people Slavic, the lan guage of the whole was Slavic - Russian.

Excerpt from The Southern Slavs AT the outbreak of this war one often heard the question, What have we to do with Serbia 1' and to such a question it could until the end of July 1914 with a considerable amount of truth have been answered, Nothing.' There is scarcely any race in Europe of which most people in England know less than they do of the Serbs, and there is no European country with which we have had less intercourse. This ignorance is not altogether our own fault it is the result partly of geographical, partly of historical facts which have till now contributed to distract our attention from the western half of the Balkan peninsula.

Excerpt from The Slavs of Austria-Hungary Who are the Slavs? They are a people who some two thousand years before Christ, settled around the Baltic sea and later upon the Danube. Philologists are disagreed as to Whether the cradle of the Slavic race should be placed in the neighborhood of the Baltic or further south near the present Balkan territory. Be that as it may, philologists are unanimous in asserting the relationship of the Slavic tongues to the indo-european or Aryan languages.

Excerpt from The Coming of the Slav The following preface was written during the busy sessions of the Pan-Presbyterian Council at Pittsburgh in September, 1921, by Dr. F. Zilka. He is a professor in the Evangelical Theological Faculty of John Huss in the University of Prague, and was decorated by the Sorbonne of Paris. Rev. J. V. Kovar translated it from the Bohemian; and it is worthy of mention that Mr. Kovar traveled thousands of miles in Siberia with Czechoslovak troops. The writer wishes here to express cordial gratitude for the kindness of Prof. Zilka, and of Mr. Kovar. It is not customary for a foreigner to call the attention of the reading public to a book by a native author, and it was only with great hesitation that I yielded to Dr. Edwards' request to write these few sentences. In explanation of this unusual step, and at the same time in justification of it, is the fact that the subject of the book is far more alien to American readers than to myself. To me, as a Slav and a Czech, the matter with which Dr. Edwards is dealing is indeed near, very near to my heart. For this reason, though with some doubts, I consented to violate custom, and as a foreigner address a few words to American readers. Let me say, right at the beginning, that the book of Dr. Edwards bears traces of its American origin; it is specifically American. I think that any Slav would deal with the subject in a different way. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
