Examines the German opinion of the English in the eighteenth century, as expressed in the literature of Germany in the last third of the eighteenth century, including books of travel, essays and letters written by Germans visiting England, and belles-lettres.

Excerpt from England and the Englishman in German Literature of the Eighteenth Century The investigation of which the most significant results are presented in this monograph was suggested to me in 1917 by the late Professor Calvin Thomas, of Columbia University. Under his able and stimulating guidance I started to work in January 1919, but at the time of his sudden death in November of that year my task was still far from completion. To Professor Arthur F. J. Remy I am indebted for many hours which he gave to a helpful, constructive criticism of the manuscript in its brouillon stages, but it is perhaps to Professor Robert Herndon Fife that I am most indebted, especially since the beginning of his interest and participation in my work antedated by several months his official connection with Columbia University. It is a pleasure to record here, furthermore, my gratitude to Professor Frederick W. J. Heuser, who gave me many valuable suggestions, and to Professor Arthur George Williams, of William and Mary College, and Professor William Harrison Faulkner, of the University of Virginia, both of whom have given me much help and encouragement throughout a number of years of Germanic study. Of the librarians who did much to aid me, I am under especial obligations to Mr. Frederick W. Erb, of the Columbia University Library, Mr. Frederick W. Ashley, of the Library of Congress, and Mr. William Warner Bishop, librarian of the University of Michigan. My thanks are due also to Professor Fife and my colleague, Mr. James McFadden Carpenter, Jr., of Haverford College, for assistance in reading the proof.
