Excerpt from Austria: Her People Their Homelands It is rather a significant fact that in the English Catalogue of Books issued between the years 1836 to 1872 there are only two books noted on Austria, one of these being priced at eighteenpence, and between the years 1872 to 1889 there are no books issued on the Austrian Empire. That is, in fifty-three years two books are catalogued for English readers upon this great Empire. Since that date there are such books as Whitman's "Story of the Nations, " some statistical books, especially Geoffrey Drage's "Austria-Hungary, " and one or two light books of travel, upon separate parts of Austria, such as Bohemia, the Tyrol, the Danube, more books have appeared, but upon Austria as a whole there is a dearth unaccountable of works in the English tongue. For historical and other references I have had to go to the works of Palacky, Ploetz, Mayer, Borovsky, Putzger, etc., and to the local publications in the various provinces and towns, to the Governmental statistical works, or to the great work on Austria begun by the Crown Prince Rudolf.
