Summary/Abstract: published by: J. H.W.DIETZ NACHFOLGER, BERLIN //When Friedrich FG Kleinwächter says in his far too little read, very informative book “The Downfall of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy” that Europe knew more about Japan and India than about the South Slavic countries of the Habsburg Empire, the South-Slavic world still today is not in the bright midday light of being known. // In Germany, too, there is often an almost encyclopedic ignorance about the southern Slavs, although they come across our tribal territory on a broad front and one day they will also be our border neighbors in the state; Gone are the days when a Jakob Grimm, an Alexander v. Humboldt, a Leopold v. Ranke were eager to gain an understanding of South Slavic matters. // This regrettable fact - more regrettable for us than for the southern Slavs - justifies the summary and publication of treatises which, whether they have been in "Society" or "Wage", Viennese, workers' Newspaper ”,“ Frankfurter Zeitung ”or“ Prager Presse ”have appeared, are based on knowledge of the subject, strive to penetrate the subject matter and are carried by the will to objectivity.
