Excerpt from The Foundations of Germany: A Documentary Account Revealing the Causes of Her Strength, Wealth, and Efficiency The second edition of The Foundations of Germany is; as the title-page states, a very greatly enlarged one. The present volume would perhaps be described more correctly as a new book. Three chapters contained in the first edition which dealt with the causes of the World War, with the relations between Germany and Turkey, and with the German Colonial Empire, matters which have been treated by many writers, have been omitted. On the other hand nine new chapters, numbered VI to XIII and XIX, have been added. There are more than two hundred pages of new matter in the present edition.
