(If one thing is less known than the histoiy of Bohemia it...)
If one thing is less known than the histoiy of Bohemia it is the hfe and the works of the historians who have recorded the annals of that country. The undoubted fact that many works of ancient Bohemian writers have been lost has led to the supposition that no native records of my country except those belonging to the last century are existent. Bohemian history, as far as it has been written at aU, has been mostly written on German Unes ;the hostihty between the Slav and the Teuton, which has continued without interruption since the mythical Cechus and his Slav companions arrived in Bohemia, is a sufficient proof that records founded on the evidence of the adverse party could have little value. Palacky was the first to point out, early in the nineteenth century, that many writings of priceless value for the history of his country were still preserved in manuscript in the archives of certain Bohemian (Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)

(Nt CZECHOSLOVAK MINISTER IN LONDON MADAM, You have asked ...)
Nt CZECHOSLOVAK MINISTER IN LONDON MADAM, You have asked me to write a few words by way of introduction to the new edition of The Life and Times of Master John Hus by your late husband, Francis Count Liitzow. It is with pleasure that I comply with your request. I regard it as a special distinction to be acting as Czecho-S lovak Minister in London at the time when a new edition of Count Llitzow sbook on Hus is being issued for the purpose of acquainting the English reading public with that important epoch in the history of the Czecho-S lovak nation, the outstanding representative of which is Master John Hus, who fought so nobly for freedom of conviction. It was his martyrdom which gave birth to that abhorrence of oppression, but also to that unshaken belief in the final victory of justice and truth which accompanied our nation through centuries of suffering, until, having attained their liberty and independence, they could proudly inscribe the motto Pravda vitezi (T ruth prevails) upon the escutcheon of their own State. I cannot of course presume to pronounce any judgment on a work whose value has long since been acknowledged by those best qualified to appreciate its merits, but I think that in my capacity as representative of the Czecho-S lovak State in Great Britain I may venture to express the feelings of deep gratitude which are cherished by every Czech heart towards the authors life-work, devoted as it was to furthering the interests of the Czech cause in this country. When the book first appeared in the year 1909, nobody could have surmised that the dawn of our liberty was so soon to scatter the dark clouds which, in the concluding words of Count Liitzow s History of Bohemia, seemed to surround the future of our country.
