“The story is both argument and appeal. As argument, it reveals that
Bohemian character, citing the place of Bohemia in the art of citizenship,
in the power of self-control, in its national ideals, in its policies of
accommodation to the plans of neighboring states, in its contribution to
the world of creative arts, and in its personal views of national duty and
responsibility. As appeal it enumerates, point by point, the injustice of
many years of Hapsburg rule, and sets out in clear light the many reasons
why the Bohemians deserve freedom.”

NOTE ON BOHEMIAN PRONUNCIATION


A noted authority has said that “no other modern language can translate
the ancient classics so readily, and yet so completely and forcibly as the
Bohemian.”

The Bohemian is the most developed of the Slavic tongues. Consistently a
phonetic tongue, it is pronounced as it is written.

The vowels are pronounced as in Italian.

Invariably the accent falls on the first syllable, irrespective of the
length of the word.

Before Hus’s time Bohemian orthography resembled somewhat that of the
present day Polish. By introducing the diacritic mark, the reformer did
away with groups of consonants such as cs, cz.

The diacritic mark occurs on the following letters: á, é, č, ď, í, ň, ř,
š, ť, ú, ů, ý, ž. Ď and ó are used least of all. The mark tends alike to
soften and shade the sound of the letter.

  á is pronounced long as in darling.
  é as a in care.
  ě as ye in yellow.
  č as ch in cherry.
  í and ý as ee in tree.
  ň as ñ in cañon.
  ř is thought to be unpronounceable by a non-Bohemian.

The Germans taunt the Bohemians with the ř. The rsh in Pershing approaches
the sound though it does not quite express it.

  š as sh in shall.
  ú and ů long as in rule.
  ž as in j in the French word jour.
  ch as in the Scottish loch.




INTRODUCTORY


It sounds incredible, yet it is literally true, that every Slavic nation
was, before the war, and probably still is, better known to the English
speaking people than the Bohemians (Čechs). What is the reason? That the
Bohemians, who are the most literate of all the Slavs, have remained
undiscovered may be attributed to three main causes: They are not a free
nation. They are a landlocked nation. They are rated a small nation.

The opportunities which a seacoast offers to a people, to mention the
Dutch, Irish, Belgians, Norwegians, Swedes and Danes, all of whom are
numerically smaller than the Bohemian-Slovaks are inestimable. In the
forum of world’s commerce and politics, the sea is their powerful sponsor.
To a landlocked people this great boon is denied. Inland nations may reach
the outside world through an intermediary only, and if that intermediary
happens to be a powerful and ungenerous state, the policy of which is to
keep its little neighbor in the background, the consequences are obvious.

That there live in Central Europe Teutons and none others but Teutons was
being daily demonstrated to the Americans by a most convincing proof.
Almost every box of merchandise shipped here from that part of the world
bore the tell-tale mark “Made in Germany.” Rarely one saw at the terminals
goods labelled “Made in Austria,” and rarer still, “Made in Bohemia.” And
yet many an article of merchandise thus marked was really made in Bohemia,
for parts of Bohemia teem with all kinds of wonderful industries.

Because of centuries of political and economic subjection, the very
existence of the nation has been lost sight of by the Anglo-Saxons. In
the interval between the catastrophal defeat of the Bohemians in 1620 and
1848, the year of revolutionary changes, nothing has occurred in Bohemia
to attract the attention of the world to the Bohemian nation. The Seven
Years’ War, and later the Napoleonic Wars, were events that concerned not
Bohemia as an independent state, but the whole of the Hapsburg Empire. The
Russians acquired renown in the first quarter of the nineteenth century
by their defeat of Napoleon. Later, during the Crimean War, Russia again
came into prominence in the Anglo-American press. Kosciuszko and Pulaski
were names to be conjured with by the Polish immigrant. The uprisings
in 1830 and in 1863 made sufficiently known to the Americans the ideals
and the miseries of Poland. The Russo-Turkish War of 1877 and the Berlin
Congress following it made the English reader familiar with the geography
and political ambitions of the Balkan Slavs. The Serbs, the Bulgars,
the Montenegrines were successively introduced to the newspaper man
and through him to the public at large. Alone the Bohemians remained
undiscovered, unknown.

Before the war the average reader did not know where Bohemia was located
with respect to Austria-Hungary. That ethnically, there might be a
difference between a Čech, Hungarian and an Austrian he suspected, yet it
was not wholly clear to him wherein the dissimilarity lay. One could cite
countless instances of astonishing naiveté concerning the history of the
nations which inhabit central and southeastern Europe. Four years ago a
journalist and a writer who served on the western front in the capacity of
a war correspondent made the astounding discovery that “the ancient Czech
(Bohemian) language still continues to be spoken in Prague.” It would no
doubt amuse a Dutchman to read that “Dutch is still spoken in Amsterdam”;
yet transpose Dutch for Bohemian and Prague for Amsterdam and the analogy
is precise. When one remembers with what fine scorn an American looked
down upon that corner of Europe, which in his opinion exhibited altogether
too many superfluous boundary dots, one begins to realize what thankless,
almost futile task it was to talk to him of the trials, ambitions and
triumphs of the Bohemian O’Connells, Emmets, Shelleys, Macauleys and
Hallams. With the rest, the Bohemians had to pay the penalty of being
thought a small nation.

Again there are the Bohemians and bohemians and how to differentiate
between the two is still a puzzle to a considerable portion of the public.
Are all the Bohemians artists, who “secede from conventionality in life
and art”? That even cultured--let us not hope educated--Americans and
Englishmen entertain the weird notion that there exists some distant
relationship between Bohemians, bohemians and gypsies, is, alas, too
true. In the novel _Strathmore_, Louise de la Ramée (Ouida) for instance,
asserts quite seriously that gypsies in Bohemia have Slavonic features,
that their language is a dialect of the Bohemian and that the “lawless,
vagrant, savage race” is a Slavic tribe domiciled in Bohemia.

Not a few are misled by the term Czech, thinking it probably signifies
a people other than the Bohemians. A New York paper, in enumerating the
disaffected races of Austria-Hungary, named the Bohemians _and_ the
Czechs. This is precisely like saying Yankees _and_ Americans or Germans
_and_ Teutons, for, as informed readers are aware Bohemians and the Czechs
are one and the same.[1]

  [1] The race name of the Slavic inhabitants of Bohemia in the native
  language is _Čech_ (singular), _Čechové_ (plural). The country is called
  _Čechy_. _Čech_ is pronounced nearly like Chech (the last ch as in the
  Scottish loch). The use of the form Czech should be discouraged, inasmuch
  as it wholly fails to bring out the proper sound. The _Cambridge Modern
  History_, a distinguished work, adheres consistently to the spelling
  Č-e-c-h.

Of the continental nations, Germany excepted, the French were the first
to look inquiringly into the queer Austrian household. No doubt they
were led to study Slavic Austria largely because of their alliance with
Russia and because of their historical friendship for the Poles. Due to
the labor of three pioneers, Saint-René Taillandier (1817-1879), Louis
Leger (1843-) and Ernest Denis (1849-) _La Nation Tchèque_ is no longer
unknown in France. Other and younger Frenchmen,--to name one, André
Chéradame, the author of the widely quoted volume, _The Pangerman Plot
Unmasked_,--continue the apostolary work in France; but Taillandier, Leger
and Denis will always be honored as the pioneers of this propaganda. Of
the trio, Ernest Denis, Professor of the Sorbonne, stands closest to
the Bohemian heart. Denis’ monumental researches, _Huss et la Guerre
des Hussites_, _La Bohême depuis la Montagne Blanche_, and _Fin de
l’indépendance Bohême_, when published, may be said to have caused a
sensation. Unhampered by the censor, Denis was able to bring out facts
of Bohemia’s past which were a revelation to the Bohemians themselves.

The Anglo-Saxon who visited the Hapsburg dominions thirty or forty years
ago was yet unable to see anything but Teuton Austria; that is to say, he
looked at Bohemia and the other Austrian states wholly from the official
viewpoint of Vienna.

As a sample of the notions of Bohemia and the Čechs professed in America
and England a generation ago, suffice it to cite a passage or two from
Bayard Taylor’s _Views A-Foot_, or _Europe seen with Knapsack and Staff_:
“The very name of Bohemia is associated with wild and wonderful legends,
of the rude barbaric ages. The civilized race, the Saxon race, was left
behind; I saw around me the features and heard the language of one of
those rude Slavonian tribes whose original home was on the vast steppes
of Central Asia(!)” Again: “In passing the shrines by the wayside, the
poor degraded peasants always uncovered or crossed themselves, but it
appeared to be rather the effect of habit than any good impulse for the
Bohemians are noted all over Germany for their dishonesty....”

Taylor’s grossly distorted appraisal of Bohemia was not shared by Henry
Wadsworth Longfellow, as appears from the following lines by the famous
American poet:

   “Hold your tongues! both
    Swabian and Saxon,
    A bold Bohemian cries;
    If there’s a heaven upon this earth,
    In Bohemia it lies.”

Overnight the Great War has changed many a wrong notion. “Time changes
all, and by time is truth to victory guided; what in their errors the
years planned, in a day is o’erthrown,” prophetically sings John Kollár,
the great Slovak poet. Following the example of the French, several
English and American writers, Henry Wickham Steed, R. W. Seton-Watson and
Will S. Monroe among them, have in recent years paid visits to Bohemia,
and the result is both surprising and gratifying. It is certain that, once
aroused, Anglo-Saxon curiosity will not abate until it has learned all
about Bohemia, even though the knowledge obtained may disagree with the
Alice in Wonderland tales that have been related in Vienna to the old
time British and American travelers.

A new development in the study of Bohemia and her people by foreigners
may be said to date from the time the dual system of government was
introduced (1867). Until then the interest of scholars was confined wholly
to historic and sectarian questions; from that time on, political and
ethnological issues began to engage their serious attention.

The present bibliography lists, besides books and pamphlets, magazine
articles only; it does not pretend to register items appearing in the
weekly, much less in the daily press. To attempt the latter would be
beyond the scope and purpose of the catalogue. Exceptions to the rule have
been made in favor of articles bearing the signature of authors who are
known to be especially qualified to discuss the subjects selected by them.

Scarcely a book has been written on Austria or the Slavs which does not,
directly or indirectly, discuss Bohemia and the Čechs. The catalogue
cannot take cognizance of such publications, although, in this respect
also, the rule has been relaxed and books have been indexed, dealing
broadly with Austria and the Slavs. Colquhoun’s _The Whirlpool of Europe:
Austria-Hungary and the Hapsburgs_, Steed’s _The Hapsburg Monarchy_ and
Seton-Watson’s _German, Slav, and Magyar_ may be cited as typical examples
of these publications.

Quite correctly the spelling of proper names, though obsolescent, has
been left undisturbed. The Bohemians spell Hus, not Huss; Žižka, not
Zisca. Comenius is a Latinized form dating back to an age when it was the
custom to Latinize one’s surname; the real name is Komenský and Bohemian
history knows the educator by this name only.

The authors have availed themselves of the skilled services of Leonard
C. Wharton, who was asked to look into the rare Bohemica preserved in
the British Museum. Mr. Wharton performed this part of the work with
painstaking care.

Many of the seventeenth century items have been extracted from the
_British Museum Catalogue of Printed Books_. _The Catalogue of the
Harleian Manuscripts_ in the British Museum has yielded _The Historie
of Bohemia_, written presumably in the first quarter of the seventeenth
century. Items of minor value were obtained from the _State Papers of John
Thurloe_; the _Harleian Miscellany, or a collection of scarce, curious and
entertaining Pamphlets and Tracts_; Robert Watts’ _Bibliotheca Britannica,
or a General Index to British and Foreign Literature_. For numerous
current items the authors are indebted to _Poole’s Index to Periodical
Literature_ and the _Readers’ Guide to Periodical Literature_.

The reader will probably agree with the present authors that but for
Bohemia’s Protestant past, Anglo-American Bohemica would be practically
non-existent. Strip the source book of Hus, of the events which followed
the Reformation and the anti-Reformation, of the United Brethren and
their alleged offspring, the Moravians, of Komenský, and Bohemia would
stand before the Anglo-American world like Cinderella from the fairy
tale--unwritten about, still waiting to be discovered.

The bibliography proper is subdivided into twenty-two parts, a brief
and relevant comment accompanying each part. The respective sub-titles
are: Art, Bibliography, Biography, Bohemian Glass, Dictionaries, Drama,
Fiction, Folk and Fairy Tales, Guides, History, John Hus, John Amos
Komenský, Language and Literature, Miscellany, Music, Periodicals, Plans
and Maps, Politics, Prague, Sociology and Economics, Sokols, Travel
and Description. A separate chapter, entitled Bohemia in the British
State Papers and Manuscripts, contains bibliographical extracts from
the _Calendar of State Papers_, the _Reports of the British Historical
Manuscripts Commission_, the _Reports of the Royal Commission on
Historical Manuscripts_, _Papal Registers_, etc.

The especial acknowledgments of the authors are due to Prof. Will
S. Monroe, author of _Bohemia and the Čechs_, and to Mr. Leonard C.
Wharton of London. Prof. Monroe kindly read and compared with his own,
the bibliography on Komenský. The material which Mr. Wharton has sent
from England emphasizes anew the enthusiastic interest he takes in the
language, history and literature of the Bohemian people.

ART. Reference is made in this biographical manual to the work of three
artists. The first is Václav Holar of Prácheň, or Wenceslaus Hollar, as
his name was spelled in England. A Protestant exile, whom the edicts of
anti-reformation had driven from his home, Hollar drifted to England,
where he gained the reputation as the foremost etcher of his time.
His plates, which number about 2,400 pieces, are highly prized by art
collectors. “He drew plans, prospects and portraits; habits and dresses;
churches, monuments and antiquaries, or etched designs by famous Italian,
German, Dutch and English masters, some done from the collection of King
Charles I. and especially from those belonging to Thomas Earl of Arundel,
who brought Hollar to and supported him in England.” (Vertue). Born in
1607 in Prague, he was buried in St. Margaret’s, Westminster, 28th of
March, 1677. He showed the lasting attachment to his fatherland by signing
many of his works “Wenceslaus Hollar Bohemus.”

Václav Brožík (1851-1901) was a noted painter of historic subjects. His
greatest picture is “Master John Hus condemned to death by the Council
of Constance,” now the property of the municipality of Prague. American
art lovers will remember Brožík’s “Defenestration, or thrown from the
window at Prague,” exhibited at the Chicago World’s Fair. The New York
Metropolitan Museum of Art owns a large canvas by him, “Columbus at the
Court of Ferdinand and Isabella.” The Lenox Library (now the New York
Public Library) has “Rudolph II. in the Laboratory of his Alchymist,” and
“The Grandmother’s Namesday.” “As a historical painter, Brožík equals
the greatest by his breadth of conception, fine composition, strength of
work and dramatic effect.” This is the estimate of the painter by Mr.
Larroument, Secretary of the French _Académie des Beaux Arts_. For his art
galleries in New York and Philadelphia, John Wanamaker purchased several
of the artist’s smaller themes, and from his executors the entire contents
of his Paris studio, studies, sketches, antiques, draperies and hangings.

Alfons M. Mucha, born in 1860 in Moravia, earned his spurs in Paris as
a poster artist. He is not unknown in the United States, having visited
this country on two or three occasions, working here as portraitist,
illustrator and interior decorator. For several years he has been engaged
on a series of allegories intended to portray the historical development
of the Slavs. When finished, the canvases are to be presented to the City
of Prague as the gift of the well-known Slavophile, Charles R. Crane of
Chicago and New York.

BIBLIOGRAPHY. So far as the writers know, no one has before this concerned
himself with a systematic compilation of a bibliography of this kind. The
late Herman Rosenthal, Director of the Slavonic Department of the New York
Public Library, is said to have been at work on a Slavic bibliography;
but his literary executors have not yet published it. Dr. A. Sum, member
of the English Club in Prague, has taken more than a passing interest in
English Bohemica. The late Jeffrey D. Hrbek, an exceptionally gifted young
man (see his biography published posthumously), prepared for the _Osvěta
Americká_ (1908) what was then considered to be a fairly exhaustive
bibliography. The list mentions ninety volumes, many of them containing
but remote and irrelevant allusions to Bohemia. The bibliography appended
to Miss Balch’s _Our Slavic Fellow Citizens_ is quite considerable;
however, this work treats not of Bohemians alone, but of all the Slavs,
and, when the process of elimination is applied, it will be seen that the
purely Bohemian share of reference books is small. Then there is Leonard
C. Wharton’s list, printed in the _Guide to the Kingdom of Bohemia_; this
takes notice of thirty-five items. As regards the Hus and the Moravian
Church literatures, Wm. Gunn Malin’s catalogue is, without doubt, the
richest and the most valuable of all.

BIOGRAPHY. Biographical material in the several encyclopædias is meagre
and perfunctory and what there is of it has been chiefly extracted
from German lexicons. Count Lützow edited items on Bohemia for the
_Encyclopædia Britannica_. J. J. Král has written for _Johnson’s Universal
Cyclopædia_ short biographical sketches of several authors--Jungmann,
Kollár, Němcová, Neruda and the Jirečeks among them. The _Biographical
Dictionary of the Library of the World’s Best Literature_ contains the
lives of some two dozen men of letters. Injudiciously the editor of the
_Biographical Dictionary_ has included among Bohemian (Čech) writers
Charles Sealsfield (pseudonym of Karl Anton Postl, by some written Postel)
and Fritz Mauthner. While it is true that the first named was born in
Moravia and the other in Bohemia, both Sealsfield and Mauthner were, as a
matter of fact, Germans.

P. Selver in his _Anthology of Modern Bohemian Poetry_ gives, besides
specimens of their verse, an illuminating account of the lives of a number
of poets. The biographies of the literary workers of old Bohemia are
treated adequately in Lützow’s _History of Bohemian Literature_.

No Čech has been more written about than Hus; and, incidentally, none
has shed greater lustre on his native land than he. Every volume dealing
with the causes and effects of the Reformation necessarily considers
Hus’s part therein. Associated with Hus usually appears the name of his
fellow-martyr, Jerome of Prague.

Biographies of Komenský are not wanting, for which thanks are due
principally to educators the world over, who regard Komenský’s writings as
milestones in the progress of education.

Music, speaking as it does a language which is universally understood,
has granted a passport to Anton Dvořák and in a lesser degree to Bedřich
Smetana and Zděnek Fibich.

The interested public will find many portraits and life sketches in
Vicker’s, Gregor’s, Maurice’s and Monroe’s volumes. Some have been
published in _The Bohemian Voice_; however, complete files of this
magazine are now exceedingly rare.

BOHEMIAN GLASS is renowned everywhere for its excellence and beauty.
The industry is an old one and there are some two thousand shops and
factories in the country engaged in the making of it. As an export article
Bohemian glass constitutes a major item.

DICTIONARIES. GRAMMARS. INTERPRETERS. Adolf William Straka, (died in
London in 1872), a political exile, who lived for years in England,
becoming a British subject, was the first to write an _English Bohemian
Grammar_. It was printed in Prague in 1862.

The first English Bohemian dictionary, by Charles Jonáš, was published
in Racine, Wisconsin. Before emigrating to the United States in 1863,
Jonáš spent some time in London. In the English metropolis he associated
with Straka and the inference is that the author of the _English Bohemian
Grammar_ inspired a liking for lexicographical work in his younger
fellow-exile.

Charles Jonáš, the “first Bohemian in America” was born in 1840 and died
abroad in 1896 while serving the United States in the capacity of Consul.
He was buried in Prague, “in the land he loved above all else.” Although
he was not a philologist by training, having studied in a technological
institute, he plunged courageously into lexicography. His introductory
work was the _Bohemian English Interpreter_ (1865), followed by the
_Dictionary of the English and Bohemian Languages_ (1876). Like every
initial effort, the dictionary was deficient in many respects. Each
succeeding edition, however, was improved and amplified, so that now
Jonáš’ dictionaries compare favorably with like German publications.
Other American Bohemians have achieved political distinction in the
United States (Jonáš was successively State Senator, Lieutenant Governor
of Wisconsin and U. S. Consul at Prague), yet Jonáš the journalist, Jonáš
the author, Jonáš the politician had not, in the estimation of pioneer
immigrants, an equal among his American co-nationals.

F. B. Zdrůbek’s _Anglická mluvnice_ (1870) is the earliest publication
of its kind in America. Crude typographically and faulty textually, the
volume is a compliment neither to the printer nor to the author. Jonáš and
Zdrůbek, one will observe, worked along parallel lines. This is explained
by the circumstance that the two men were attached to two rival newspaper
and printing concerns--Jonáš to the weekly _Slavie_ published in Racine,
and Zdrůbek to the daily _Svornost_ of Chicago.

F. B. Zdrůbek, for over thirty years editor of the Chicago _Svornost_,
and one of the leaders of the Bohemian rationalists in the United States,
was born in 1842 and died in Chicago in 1911. He took a course first in a
Catholic, then in a Protestant theological seminary. Convinced that “as
a minister of the gospel he could not make an honorable living unless
he chose to make of his vocation a vulgar traffic and practiced from
the pulpit pious extortion,” as he wrote in his autobiography, he gave
up the ministry and devoted himself to journalism. Most prolific of all
the American Bohemian men of letters, Zdrůbek was in fact not a creative
writer but a translator. As a journalist he was distinctly commonplace.

Jaroslav J. Zmrhal, teacher in a Chicago school, has given the public in
his _Anglicky snadno ve třiceti úlohách_, one of the best hand-books for
the learning of the English language thus far compiled. Zmrhal’s method of
pronunciation is clearly an improvement over all previous books; certainly
it is superior to Zdrůbek’s, who after all, possessed but a book knowledge
of English.

Last, but not least, is a comprehensive _Učebnice_ by F. Francl of New
York. Altogether it may be stated that grammars and interpreters by
American Bohemians who know alike the vocabulary and the spirit of the
English tongue, are more serviceable, if not wholly superior to most of
the “English Easy and Quick” hand-books which have been published in
Prague.

The most versatile linguist in Bohemia was Francis Vymazal (1841-1917),
who compiled a lengthy row of manuals of the “English at a glance” type.
Vymazal’s series includes the study of English, Bulgarian, Russian,
French, Hebrew, Dutch, Latin, Magyar, German, Gypsy, Modern Greek, Polish,
Portuguese, Rumanian, Slovak, Slovene, Serbo-Croatian, Old Greek, Spanish,
Turkish and Italian. Owing to his manner of life and dress--he was not
afraid to lead the life of a lowly proletarian--the people of Brno, in
which city he lived and died, nicknamed him “Bohemian Diogenes.”

DRAMA. That the Poles and the Bohemians, two submerged nations, have each
given to the American stage a tragic actress--the Poles Helena Modjeska,
the Bohemians Frances Janauschek--may and may not be accidental. Many
people have supposed Janauschek to be a German tragedienne, because in the
early years of her career, before she mastered the English language, she
played in German, on the German stage. But she was of pure Bohemian stock,
born in Prague in 1830. By virtue of her long residence in America and her
devotion to and life-long association with the American stage, she was
really an American actress.

FICTION. Translations from fiction are disappointingly few. Of course,
this is no evidence that Bohemia has no fiction writers; the truth is that
she has not found Isabella Hapgoods and Jeremiah Curtins to translate
what she has. With one notable exception, Božena Němcová’s _Babička_,
nothing worth note has been rendered into English from the prose. The
story _Maria Felicia_ by Karolina Světlá, which an American Bohemian
woman has translated into English, is no more typical of Bohemia than it
is of Finland, Spain or any other country. One should not only know how
to translate, but, what is just as essential, what to translate. A. V.
Šmilovský, whose story, _Nebesa_, the Moureks translated, is a meritorious
writer, but by no means of the high type of Alois Jirásek or Julius Zeyer.

Several foreign writers of fiction have made use of a Bohemian theme
more or less successfully, the earliest of them being George Sand.
Unfortunately Sand’s Bohemians in _Consuelo_ and in its sequel _The
Countess of Rudolstadt_, are about as real as Robinson Crusoe’s Man
Friday.

FOLK AND FAIRY TALES. Karel Jaromír Erben (1811-1870), whose folk tales
Rev. Wratislaw translated into English, is recognized as an authority on
folk lore. “If Erben had left nothing else but his _Nosegay of National
Folk Tales_, his name would always rank among Bohemian writers of the
first magnitude,” says a critic. Most of the writers of folk tales here
listed have borrowed from Erben.

THE GUIDE TO THE KINGDOM OF BOHEMIA, published in Prague in 1906, is
primarily intended to attract travelers to the ancient capital of the
country; however, the information it contains is of interest alike to
travelers and to non-travelers.

HISTORY. Probably the first instance in which the English and the
Bohemians came into contact with each other, although as foes on the
field of battle, occurred in 1346 at the battle of Crécy. Here fell,
fighting on the side of the French, against the English, John of Luxemburg,
the blind King of Bohemia. King John’s crest was three ostrich feathers
and his motto “I serve”; which the Prince of Wales and his successors
adopted in memorial of this great victory of the English.

A more agreeable event in the relationship of England and Bohemia took
place thirty-six years later (1382), when Richard II. engaged himself to
Anne of Luxemburg, the granddaughter of the very ruler whom the English
had fought at Crécy. The popular though erroneous belief is that through
Queen Anne the writings of Wicliffe were introduced into Bohemia. In her
readable _Lives of the Queens of England_, Agnes Strickland devotes a few
warmly written pages to “Anne of Bohemia, surnamed the Good, first Queen
of Richard II.”

The gallant knight, Sir Simon Burley, the English ambassador, was
charged with bringing Richard’s bride from Prague to London. “England
was to Bohemia a sort of terra incognita; and as a general knowledge of
geography and statistics was certainly not among the list of imperial
accomplishments in the fourteenth century, the empress (Anne’s mother)
despatched duke Primislaus of Saxony on a voyage of discovery, to
ascertain, for the satisfaction of herself and the princess what sort
of country England might be.”[2]

  [2] Agnes Strickland: _Lives of the Queens of England_, v. 1, p. 592.

England may have seemed an out of the way land to the Bohemians of old,
yet the English people were by no means unknown to them. The fondness
of the Bohemians for travel in foreign countries was well known.[3]
That entertaining compilation of wonder-stories comprised in _Sir John
Mandeville’s Travels_ was translated at an early date into the national
language. Students from Bohemia were wont to go to the universities at
Oxford and Paris in order to broaden their education. Jerome of Prague is
known to have studied at Oxford. Like others of his countrymen he had been
drawn thither by the fame of Wicliff’s name.

  [3] See in History: Wratislaw’s _Adventures_; Šašek’s _Diary of an
  Embassy_. The Embassy which Šašek describes was led by Leo z Rožmitálu
  (Leo von Rosmital), a highly distinguished personage. The Embassy,
  or mission, consisted of forty persons with fifty-two horses and a
  Kamer-wagon and set out from Prague November 26, 1465. Šašek (Shassek)
  relates how, when the mission reached London (p. 430) “crowds assembled
  in the streets to stare at these Bohemian Samsons and Absolons.” In
  London they remained for forty days, being feasted by the King and the
  nobility. At Dunkirk they (the Bohemians) caught the first view of the
  sea--Shakespeare’s description of Bohemia in the _Winter’s Tale_ as
  “desert country near the sea” to the contrary notwithstanding.

Most readers will be surprised to learn that a Bohemian had been one
of the torchbearers of Reformation in Scotland. The name of this minor
reformer is Paul of Kravař or Crawar, as Scotch writers spell the name.
According to Burton[4] “Crawar was a German, believed to have come from
Bohemia to propose the doctrines that had been preached by John Hus and
Jerome of Prague. All that we are told of him personally is that he
professed to be a physician, and to be traveling and visiting in the
practice of his calling.” Kravař was burned at St. Andrews, July 23, 1433,
as a heretic Hussite. “The churchman who records his burning,” relates
Burton, “takes occasion to enlarge on the characteristics of Taborites
and other Bohemian heretics.” Lang[5] states that “he was an envoy of the
Hussite ‘miscreants.’ Lawrence of Lindores attacked him, but he found him
well read in scriptures.”

  [4] John Hill Burton: _The History of Scotland_, v. 3, p. 114. The lords
  of Kravař were an ancient Bohemian family, who took a prominent part in
  the affairs of their nation already in the thirteenth century. Certain
  branches of the family were strong Hussite partisans.

At no time before or after have the English taken a more genuine interest
in Bohemia and her affairs than during the events which followed the
outbreak of the Thirty Years’ War. Their concern over what was happening
in Bohemia at that time was due, mainly, to two reasons. The first was
that an Englishwoman, a daughter of the reigning family, had been elevated
to the dignity of queen of that country. The second motive was a religious
one. Bohemia lay in the direct zone of the conflict raging between
Catholicism and Protestantism and Protestant England could not but be
gravely concerned over the fate of Protestant Bohemia. Money was collected
and troops were raised to sustain the cause of the Stuart Queen in Prague
and incidentally of Protestantism and it has been said that if James
had given his daughter the support which she and her husband expected
from him, Bohemia’s position might have been wholly different today.
But “King James,” a historian tells us, “never stood greatly affected,
either to this war, or to the cause thereof and thereupon some regiments
of inexperienced volunteers going over, instead of a well composed army,
it was one reason, among many others, that not only Bohemia, but the
Palatinate were also lost....”

Elizabeth graced the Bohemian throne only for a few months between
1619-1620, but she insisted upon bearing the title of Queen of Bohemia
to the end of her days (1596-1662). Likewise her husband, Frederick,
(1596-1632) “was resolved to foregoe not the title of the King of Bohemia
that he hath allreadie gotten.”

All Britain rejoiced when Elizabeth the “Pearl of the Stuarts” was wedded
to Frederick of the Palatinate. John Taylor, the Water-Poet, wrote a
poem about the “beloved Marriage of the two peerelesse Paragons of
Christendome.” Historians have dutifully chronicled the event of “the
most blessed and happie marriage betweene the High and Mightie Prince
Frederick the Fifth, Count Palatine of the Rhein, Duke of Bavier, etc. And
the most Vertvous, Gracious and thrice excellent Princesse, Elizabeth,
Sole Daughter to our dread Soueraigne, James by the grace of God, King of
Great Britaine, France and Ireland, etc., celebrated at White-Hall the
fourteenth of Februarie, 1612.”

In 1619, the Bohemian Protestant Estates deposed their King and offered
the crown to Frederick, in the hope that the “King of England would,
out of his three kingdoms, send such a continued stock of men to the
Palatinate, that the crown of Bohemia should be established on the head
of the Elector Palatinate and that by no course sooner than by virtue
of the English arms.”

We read of the “Departure of the high and mightie Prince Frederick King
Elect of Bohemia: With his royall and vertuous Ladie Elizabeth: And the
thryse hopefull yong Prince Henrie, from Heydelberg towards Prague, to
receive the Crowne of that Kingdome. Whereunto is annexed the Solempnitie
or maner of the Coronation.”

On another page the reader will find a quaint account of the coronation
ceremonies in Prague written by an eyewitness, presumably John Harrison.

On the 8th day of November, 1620, near Prague, on the slopes of the White
Hill (Bílá Hora), was fought a fateful battle between the Imperialists
(Austrians) and the Bohemian Army.

Referring to this catastrophal battle, which cost Bohemia her independence,
Sir Charles Montagu, English Ambassador stationed at Vienna wrote to his
kinsman, Sir Edward Montagu: “To begin with the worst first, there is news
come now of more certain truth than heretofore from Bohemya, which is that
the King’s army hath had a great overthrow, and Prage is lost, but the
King and Queen are at a strong place called Presslaw in Selecya, and the
King of Hungary and he have met and they both intend to raise a far greater
force to set on them (the Imperialists) suddenly; God give them better
success.”

The King of Bohemia, as subsequent events proved, did not meet with better
success. In a day or two after that fatal 8th day of November, when
Bohemia was going to her destruction, he left Prague precipitately with
his queen, never to return to that capital....

Bohemian historians speak in terms of warm praise of Elizabeth, the
“Winter Queen,” but their estimate of Frederick, “First Prince of the
Imperiall bloud, sprung from glorious Charlemaigne,” falls lamentably
short of the measure taken of him by the Bohemian Estates, as reprinted
on another page.

Conceivably for the “Winter Queen’s” enlightenment, John Harrison, who
accompanied the royal pair to Prague in the capacity of court chaplain,
sketched the “Historie of Bohemia, the first parte describing the
Countrye, Scituation, Climate, Commodities, the Name and Nature of the
People and compendiously continuing the Historie from the beginning of
the Nation to the First Christian Prince, about the year of Christ 990.”

Speaking “in the name of all our exiled nation” the Bohemian Church
appealed for help “to the lord protector, his highness council, and the
parliament.”[6]

  [6] John Thurloe: _Collection of State Papers_, v. 2, p. 441.

As in the case of the Waldenses, Protector Cromwell ordered a national
subscription; and a handsome amount was collected during the spring of
1658 to relieve the distress of Bohemian Protestants. Komenský and his
fellow exiles were invited to settle in Ireland, the Protector desiring to
strengthen the Protestant element there. The “Act for the Satisfaction of
Adventurers and Soldiers” authorized “all persons of what nation soever
professing the Protestant religion to rent or purchase forfeited lands,”
but the Dutch, German and Bohemian emigrants whom this clause contemplated
never came.[7] Believing in the fulfillment of Drabík’s false prophecy,
that the cause of Protestantism in Bohemia would prevail in the end and
that the exiles would yet return home in triumph, Komenský hesitated to
accept England’s proffer.

  1656-1658_. Also Vaughn: _Protectorate of Cromwell_, v. II, p. 447.

Protestant refugees, who had been driven from home by Ferdinand’s edicts,
wandered to England in pursuit of religious freedom and livelihood.
Simon Partlicius (1593-1639), preacher and author and Samuel Martinius
(1588-1640), writer and mathematician, both enjoyed England’s hospitality
for a time. So did Komenský who came in 1642 to London to visit friends
and to further his literary projects. Wenceslaus Hollar established a
permanent residence in England. Letters are extant written by Komenský’s
son-in-law, Peter Figulus, and dated at Oxford. At least two exiles,
Wenceslaus Libanus and Paul Hartmann, both members of the Brethren’s
Unity, had been ordained as ministers of the Church of England.

That the Irish Franciscans had been invited to Bohemia during the Thirty
Years’ War to assist in the re-Catholisation of the country, is known.
In Hybernská ulice, a famous thoroughfare in Prague, named after them,
the Irish Friars founded a monastery in 1630. Later (1659) they built
there the Church of Our Lady of Immaculate Conception. Although the
monastery has long passed out of existence and even the church edifice
has been forced to give way to business, the name, Hybernská ulice, still
reminds the tourist of the presence of the Hibernians in Prague. An Irish
name--that of Count Edward Francis Josef Taafe--has figured largely in
Austrian and Bohemian politics of yesterday. The Taafes secured an
incholate in Moravia in the middle of the eighteenth century and have
intermarried with the Šlik, Chotek and Pachta families.

No narrative of the Thirty Years’ War is complete or understandable
unless the student knows what part Bohemia took in the great struggle.
A recognized authority on the subject is Anton Gindely, (1829-1892)
Professor at the Prague University. Gindely’s _Geschichte des
dreissigjährigen Krieges_ has been translated by A. Ten Brook.

A quarter of a century ago one could not find on the shelves of an
American library a comprehensive history of the Bohemian nation written
in English. The task and the distinction of writing such a work fell to
the lot of a Chicago lawyer of Scotch-Irish ancestry, Robert H. Vickers.
Vicker’s _History of Bohemia_ was published in 1894 in Chicago, the
munificence of the Bohemian National Committee making the publication
possible. Stranger to the subtle modern forces of the nation’s life,
unfamiliar with its language, unduly in love with the rust of the past,
Vickers produced a volume suffering obviously from bookiness. The Chicago
Bohemians erected a monument in the National Cemetery to the memory of
their Scotch-Irish friend.

A year later (1895), there appeared another history of the nation: Frances
Gregor’s _Story of Bohemia_.

In translating into idiomatic English the little classic, Němcová’s
_Babička_--the first story book by a Bohemian author to be so
honored--Frances Gregor rendered an actual service to literature. Many
an American Bohemian youth has had his or her first glimpse of the charms
of Bohemian country life from _Babička_, but her _Story of Bohemia_ has
since been supplanted by newer and abler historical studies. Frances
Gregor’s talents lay not in historical research but in light fiction
writing and literary criticism. An incurable malady greatly interfered
with intensive literary labor, making her life all but unendurable. She
died in Colorado in 1901, aged fifty-one years.

Two additional histories were put on the market by publishers in 1896:
_Bohemia: an Historical Sketch_, by Count Lützow; and Charles Edmund
Maurice’s _Bohemia: from the earliest times to the fall of national
independence in 1620_.

It is no secret that English Bohemica cost Count Lützow (born 1849 in
Hamburg, died 1916 in Switzerland) his diplomatic career, making him
_persona non grata_ at the Vienna court. Of the several volumes written
by this high-minded, unselfish nobleman, the most erudite and mature is
_The Hussite Wars_. Lützow is especially esteemed by English-speaking
Bohemians, for they alone are able to appreciate the measure of his labors.

Will S. Monroe’s _Bohemia and the Čechs_ was published in 1910. It
is profusely illustrated and contains an informative review of the
literature, art, politics and the economic and social conditions of the
people. Monroe knows his Bohemia from close personal association and
not from books alone, and his _Bohemia and the Čechs_ has achieved wider
popularity than any of the accounts preceding it.

In the _Cambridge Modern History_ the student will find abundant and
reliable material on Bohemia, from such noted writers as Robert Nisbet
Bain, A. W. Ward, Louis Eisenmann, and others.

JOHN HUS. JEROME OF PRAGUE. UNITY. MORAVIANS. The Hussite Reformation
in the fifteenth century was a movement which concerned not Bohemia
alone, but the entire Christian world. “Thus begun,” remarks Bishop de
Schweinitz, “one of the most remarkable and at the same time terrific
wars the world has seen; for sixteen years Bohemia single handed defied
papal Europe.” Two Englishmen, John Wickliffe and Peter Payne, the first
impersonally, through his writings, the other personally, played not an
inconspicuous rôle in the great religious awakening which followed the
burning of Hus at the stake in 1415.

The Hussite literature, as the reader will perceive, is quite bulky. Of
the non-Bohemian Hus scholars, whose works have been written in English or
translated into that tongue, these deserve to be mentioned: De Bonnechose,
_Les Réformateurs avant la Réforme_, known as _Reformers before the
Reformation_; Johann Loserth’s _Hus und Wiclif_; De Schweinitz’s _History
of the Church known as the Unitas Fratrum, or the Unity of the Brethren_;
Count Lützow’s _The Hussite Wars_; David S. Schaff’s _John Huss; His
Life, Teachings and Death_; W. N. Schwarze’s _John Hus, the Martyr of
Bohemia_. Knowing the Bohemian language and being in a position to make
use of native sources, some of them still unpublished, Count Lützow has
had an undoubted advantage over Hus commentators who were not so fitted.
Rev. E. H. Gillett’s _Life and Times of John Huss_, was, after it had been
published, adversely commented upon, the author being openly charged with
taking bodily sentences, paragraphs and pages from De Bonnechose, without
giving the Frenchman due credit. (See _North American Review_, July,
1865.) Rev. A. H. Wratislaw’s _John Huss, the commencement of resistance
to papal authority_, has for its basis the trustworthy researches of the
historians Palacký and Tomek.

The Moravian Church, claiming direct descent from the Unity of Bohemian
Brethren, has produced noteworthy sectarian literature. In fact, the
Moravians, to mention only one scholar, the late Bishop de Schweinitz,
have done more than any other evangelical church in the way of
interpreting to the English speaking people the most stirring chapters
of Bohemian history.

There is this criticism to be made, however, in reference to the Hus
literature, that while non-Bohemian writers regard Hus as a religious
reformer only and treat the reformation inaugurated by him wholly in the
light of a religious upheaval, the Bohemians insist on taking a broader
view of Hus and of Hussites. To them Hus reveals himself not only as
a religious reformer, but likewise as a champion and purifier of the
native tongue. In the Hussite Wars they recognize a political-spiritual
revolution, having for its purpose the liberation of the Bohemian nation
alike from papal trammels and from German domination.

The Bohemian Church, Unity, Unitas Fratrum, Unity of Bohemian Brethren,
Brethren’s Unity, are the names given to a church which originated in the
second half of the fifteenth century. In the severely strict notions as
to what is proper in the practice of religious duties, the Unity bore a
striking resemblance to the Puritans.

Its doctrine and discipline are admirably set forth in the articles
passed in 1616 at the Synod of Žeravice. These articles, provided with
annotations by Komenský have been translated into English, under the
title _Ratio disciplinae, or the Constitution of the Congregational
Churches_. Thus one is able to trace the influence of the Unity upon the
Church of England. When the Bohemian Revolution broke out (1618) the
nobility belonging to the Unity were powerful enough to influence the
selection of a new King in the place of Ferdinand II., who was dethroned
by the Estates. The choice, as we know, fell upon Frederick of the
Palatinate. The Patent of Tolerance, (1781) allowing Protestant worship
in Austria, purposely excluded the Unity. To the Government the church
was objectionable, first because of its Bohemian national traditions,
and secondly because of the leading part its members had taken in the
revolution against Ferdinand.

Some of the greatest writers of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries
were members of the Unity: John Augusta (1500-1572, Bishop and writer),
John Blahoslav (1523-1571), collaborator on the _Kralice Bible_, author
of _Grammatika Česká_, Charles, Lord of Žerotín (1564-1636), John Amos
Komenský. The Unity reformed schools and promoted literature by setting up
printing shops in Bohemia and Moravia. Toward the close of the fifteenth
century a printing shop was opened in Mladá Boleslav; in the first part of
the sixteenth century another was established at Bělá, near Bezděz, and
still another at Litomyšl. The last named town was, up to 1547, looked
upon as the chief seat of the administration of the church. Because of
persecution, the Unity transferred its centre to Přerov in Moravia. Here
too, it set up printing establishments, the one at Ivančice becoming
in time far-famed. In 1578 the Ivančice concern was moved to Kralice
(Moravia).

By common consent, the _Kralice Bible_, so called from Kralice, where it
was printed, is regarded as the most enduring literary work of the Unity.
For fourteen years eight eminent scholars worked on this Bible, rendering
the translation into a language idiomatic, and pure beyond that of any
other book. It was published between the years 1579-93, and Lord Žerotín
bore the expense of it. The British Bible Society in publishing a Bohemian
Bible followed exactly the edition of 1613.

The New York Lenox Library, which is now a part of the New York Public
Library, owns: 1. A complete set of the _Kralice Bible_; the sixth volume,
however, is of a later edition. 2. Two copies of the _Prague Bible_. 3.
One copy of the _Paul Severín of Kapí Hora Bible_ of the edition of 1537.
The _Kralice Bible_ was bought by Lenox, the founder of the Lenox Library,
from the collection of the Duke of Sussex.[8]

JOHN AMOS KOMENSKÝ. John Amos Komenský (or Comenius, which is the
Latinized form of the name), one of the great figures in Bohemian history,
was born in 1592 in Moravia, (hence the suffix “Moravus” seen on some of
his works) and died as an exile in 1670 in Holland.

Though he was a churchman of prominence, being the last Bishop of
the Unity, his reputation is founded not on his ecclesiastical and
philosophical writings, but on his pedagogical studies. As a school
reformer he was the first to carry out the principle, long since
recognized as sound by all teachers, of appealing to the senses; so he
called the artist to his aid. The result was the _Orbis Sensualium Pictus_
or the _Visible World_. “The circumstances of his life were as unfavorable
as possible to his career as a writer,” remarks Lützow. “Traveling
from Moravia to Bohemia, thence to Poland, Germany, England, Sweden,
Hungary, Holland, ever unable to obtain tranquillity, often in financial
difficulties, twice deprived of his library by fire, forced to write
school-books, when he was planning metaphysical works that he believed
to be of the greatest value, he always undauntedly continued his vast
literary undertakings.”

From Cotton Mather[9] we learn (a fact which is confirmed by other
sources) that Governor Winthrop offered to Komenský the Presidency of
Harvard College. “That brave old man Johannes Amos Comenius, the fame
of whose worth hath been Trumpetted as far as more than Three Languages
(Whereof everyone is endebted unto his Janua) could carry it, was agreed
withal by our Mr. Winthrop, in his travels through the Low Countries, to
come over into New England and Illuminate this Colledge and Country in the
Quality of President: But the Solicitations of the Swedish ambassador,
diverting him another way, that Incomparable Moravian became not an
American.”

  [9] _Magnalia Christi Americana_; or, _The Ecclesiastical History of New
  England_. Book IX., p. 128.

Biographers are not agreed as to the number of Komenský’s works. F. J.
Zoubek has enumerated 137 of them; Keatinge lists 127. Some were written
in Latin, others in Bohemian, though Komenský, having received his
theological training in Germany, was conversant with the language of that
country also.

As a master of Bohemian diction he had few, if any, peers. To the
revivalists Komenský’s writings were a safe and never-failing storehouse
of philologic material and even today, despite the circumstance that
Bohemian syntax and orthography like the English, have undergone an
essential change, his style is a source of delight to literary purists.

His chief writings that have been translated into English, and the main
facts of their publication, are as follows:

_The Gate of Tongues Unlocked_ first appeared in Latin in Leszno (Lissa),
Poland, in 1631; the same year in German. The Bohemian edition is dated
1633, the English 1633.

_The School of Infancy._ This manual was written primarily for the use of
Bohemian schools, but when the author realized that he could not return to
his fatherland, being a Protestant, the work was translated into German.
The English edition is dated 1641. The Bohemian manuscript was discovered
only in 1856 and put into print two years later.

_A Reformation of Schooles_ was printed for Michael Sparke, London, 1642.

_The History of the Bohemian Persecution_, which is one of the author’s
church works, was completed in Bohemian in 1632, but was not published
in that tongue until 1655. The date of the Latin version is 1647; of the
English, 1650.

Jeremy Collier’s rendering into English of the _Pansophiae_, or, as the
translator entitled it, _Patterne of Universall Knowledge_, is dated,
London, 1651. Published in 1643, in Danzig, it was printed two years later
in Amsterdam. The Bohemian translation is quite recent, dating from 1879.
“No one can impartially claim for Komenský a high rank as a philosopher,”
comments Count Lützow, “and it is certainly a mistake to speak of
Komenský’s system of philosophy. There is no philosophical system of
Komenský in the sense that there exists a philosophical system of Spinoza.”

_The Physicae_ or _Naturall Philosophie Reformed by Divine Light_ was
printed in Leipsic in 1633, in Amsterdam 1643, 1645, 1663, etc. The
Bohemian translation is recent. The English edition, in this catalogue,
is of 1651.

_The True and Readie Way to Learne the Latine Tongue_ appeared in Leszno,
1633. It was translated later into Dutch, English (our catalogue’s London
edition is of 1654), Magyar, Swedish and Polish. The Latin-Bohemian-German
edition is dated Trenčín, Hungary, 1649.

Komenský’s most popular book, the _Orbis Sensualium Pictus_, was printed
originally in Nuremberg, in 1658. The English translation by Charles Hoole
followed one year later. The Latin-German-Magyar-Bohemian edition was
issued in 1685; the first American edition, a reprint from Hoole’s twelfth
London edition, in New York, in 1810.

That the English translation of _The Great Didactic_, which Komenský wrote
between 1627-1632 in the Bohemian language and in 1640 in Latin (published
in Amsterdam, 1657), was not undertaken until our time (1896) is a matter
of great surprise. The same comment is pertinent to Komenský’s most
readable little volume, _The Labyrinth of the World and the Paradise of
the Heart_, which strikingly reminds one of Bunyan’s _Pilgrim’s Progress_.
It was only in 1905 that it found an able translator in the person of
Count Lützow. _The Praxis Pietatis_, an oft-quoted book which passed
through several editions in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries has
not been translated for the very good reason that it, in itself, was an
adaptation, from the _Practice of Piety_, a volume by an English divine.

_The Exhortation of the Churches of Bohemia to the Church of England_,
Englished by Joshua Tymarchus and printed for Thomas Parkhurst, in
Cheapside, 1661, was used eighty-seven years later as an argument and a
plea by a distinguished English American, Gen. Oglethorpe.

Addressing the English Parliament (1748) in favor of the passage of a
bill to relieve the United Brethren, or Moravians, from military duty and
oaths, General Oglethorpe explained that the “Brethren were received
in England under King Edward the Sixth, and countenanced under his
successors.... And to speak a few words of their further intercourse with
the Church of England. Their Bishop, Comenius, presented the history of
his church to King Charles the Second, in the year 1660, with a moving
account of their sufferings, addressed to the Church of England.... In
the year 1683, a most pathetic account of these Brethren was published by
order of Archbishop Sancroft and Bishop Compton. They also addressed the
Church of England, in the year 1715, being reduced to a very low ebb in
Poland; and his late Majesty, George I., by the recommendation of the late
Archbishop Wake, gave orders in Council for the relief of these reformed
episcopal churches, and Letters Patent for their support were issued soon
after.”

The prognostications made in _Revelation Revealed by two Apocalyptical
Treatises_, is a book which relates to prophecies and alleged visions by
Christopher Kotter, Christina Poniatovia and an unscrupulous impostor,
Nichols Drabík by name. Genuinely believing in the truth of the prophecies
of this trio, Komenský was ridiculed and criticized by contemporaries,
especially by the Frenchman, Pierre Bayle (1647-1706) in his _Dictionnaire
Historique et Critique_. Hallam’s belittling appraisal of the author of
_Orbis Sensualium Pictus_ (“this author, a man of much industry, some
ingenuity, and a little judgment, made himself a temporary reputation by
his _Orbis Sensualium Pictus_, etc.”) is no doubt traceable to Bayle’s
unfavorable estimate. Bayle’s writings, be it remarked, were held in high
regard by men of letters of his time.

In 1892 educators the world over observed the three hundredth anniversary
of Komenský’s birth. The March (1892) number of the _Educational Review_
was wholly devoted to him; it contained articles by the editor, Nicholas
Murray Butler (now President of Columbia University), S. S. Laurie, C. W.
Bardeen, Paul H. Hanus. The American Bohemians in several cities, Chicago,
New York, Omaha, Milwaukee and Cleveland, by appropriate ceremonies
also celebrated the anniversary of the birth of their distinguished
fellow-countryman.

LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE. _The Cheskian Anthology_ (1832) compiled by
Sir John Bowring (1792-1872) is the earliest known effort to acquaint
the English reading public with Bohemian literature which was just then
beginning to revive from the débâcle of the Thirty Years’ War. Before
this, Bowring had written a sympathetic review for the _Foreign Quarterly
Review_ (1828) of Joseph Jungmann’s _Historie literatury české_. For the
_Westminster Review_ (1830) he wrote a resumé of the _Manuscript of the
Queen’s Court_ (Rukopis Kralodvorský) since pronounced by philologists,
like Macpherson’s Songs of Ossian, spurious.

Another Englishman who formed a deep attachment for the youthful Bohemian
republic of letters was the Rev. Albert Henry Wratislaw (1821-1889). By
his several translations and original studies Wratislaw rendered valuable
service in England to the nation from which his ancestors had sprung.
Wratislaw claimed descent from the ancient and honorable family of the
Wratislaws of Mitrovic. Conceivably the relationship with the Wratislaws
of Bohemia prompted him to translate into English _The Adventures of Baron
Wenceslas Wratislaw of Mitrowitz_. Wratislaw’s _Bohemian Poems, Ancient
and Modern_, from the original Slavonic (Bohemian) is a skillful piece of
work.

Writing under the pen name Talvj, Mrs. Robinson, wife of the Rev.
Robinson, has devoted a chapter in her _Historical View of the Languages
and Literatures of the Slavonic Nations_ to the _History of the Czekhish
or Bohemian Languages and Literature_. Mrs. Robinson’s views on Bohemian
literature are by no means her own. Palacký and Šafařík have pointed
out that the chapter is nothing but an extract from Paul J. Šafařík’s
_Geschichte der slavischen Sprache und Literatur nach allen Mundarten_.
The pseudonym Talvj, by the way, she conceived by putting together the
initial letters of her maiden name, T. A. L. v. J., that is, Theresa
Albertina Louisa von Jacobi.

Flora P. Kopta’s _Bohemian Legends and Other Poems_ is not a satisfying
work. Far more felicitous than her poetry is her prose volume, _The
Forestman of Vimpek_.

The credit for worthily introducing Bohemian poetry belongs to an
Englishman, P. Selver. _The Anthology of Modern Bohemian Poetry_ is an
admirable achievement. Not only is Selver’s interpretation faithful, but
the selection of authors is representative.

Leo Wiener, a well-known Slavic scholar connected with Harvard University,
has presented to the public a fine rendition of J. S. Machar’s _Magdalen_.

Richard William Morfill (1835-1909), late Slavic Professor at Oxford,
has written voluminously on Slavic history and philology. Among his
philological studies are: a simplified grammar of the Polish language, a
grammar of the Russian language, a grammar of the Bulgarian language, _A
Grammar of the Bohemian or Čech language_. The last named is the only work
of its kind in English, Charles Jonáš’ _Bohemian Made Easy_ being really
an interpreter and not a scientific grammar. The Bohemian Literary Society
of Chicago, it is reported, has in preparation a new English grammar for
the study of the Čech language.

In Count Lützow’s _History of Bohemian Literature_, the student will find
an excellent manual. With his usual painstaking care, the author recounts
in a lucid manner the story of Bohemian literature, its glory and its
vicissitudes.

MISCELLANY. Attention is called to a meritorious volume under this
subtitle, by de Moleville, _The Costumes of the Hereditary (!) States of
the House of Austria_. Fifteen plates portray old Bohemian, Slovak and
Moravian costumes.

[Illustration: The Kralice Bible

Though not the oldest in point of date, the Kralice Bible (1st ed.
  1579-93, 6 vs.) is the most renowned of all the Bohemian Bibles. Formerly
  in the Lenox collection, it is now the property, with other rare Bohemian
  Bibles, of the New York City Public Library]

MUSIC. Critics rate Bedřich Smetana (1824-1884) as the greatest Bohemian
composer, yet it is Dr. Antonín Dvořák (1841-1904) who is the most widely
known outside of his native country. The reason for this is that Dvořák
visited England and spent a number of years in New York as director of a
conservatory of music. “The forcefulness and freshness of Dvořák’s music,”
writes H. E. Krehbiel, the noted New York musical critic, “come primarily
from his use of dialects and idioms derived from the folk-music of the
Chekhs.... Dvořák is not a nationalist in the Lisztian sense; he borrows
not melodies but the characteristic elements from the folk-songs of his
people.”

Smetana’s renown was won on precisely the same ground which made Dvořák
famous, the only difference being that Smetana applied the principle of
the folk-song before Dvořák. Previous to Smetana’s time one could speak of
music in Bohemia, but not of Bohemian music. George Benda (1721-1795),
Joseph Mysliveček (1737-1781), John Ladislav Dusík (1761-1812--the name
of this “neglected composer” is also spelled Dussek), Václav John Tomášek
or Tomaschek (1774-1850), author of the usual method of fingering double
scales, were writers of music who belonged to the period when there was
music in Bohemia, when composers were content to imitate Beethoven, Bach,
Mozart and Wagner; when they strove to out-German the Germans in music.
Smetana was the first to strike the true chord of inspiration--the chord
touching the nation’s soul--the folk-song. It was the influence of the
folk-song which lent to his masterpiece, the _Bartered Bride_, (Prodaná
Nevěsta) its exquisite charm and enduring freshness. Apropos, the Bartered
Bride was introduced to the American public at the New York Metropolitan
Opera House on April 29, 1909, and the baton on this unforgettable
occasion was wielded by Gustav Mahler, also a native of Bohemia, though
not a Čech.

Of the several musical artists who have visited the United States, none
have won larger recognition from the critics and the public than Jan
Kubelík (born 1880), violinist, Emmy Destinn (born 1878), soprano.

PERIODICALS. The long cherished wish that there might be an English
language newspaper which should interpret to the Americans the ideals of
the Bohemian race was realized in September, 1892, when _The Bohemian
Voice_, a monthly printed in Omaha and published by the National
Committee, was issued. Through lack of funds _The Bohemian Voice_ was
forced to suspend publication in November, 1894. The first editor of this
“organ of the Bohemian-Americans in the United States” was Thomas Čapek;
upon his resignation, in April, 1894, J. J. Král took charge as editor.

The speculative _American Bi-Monthly_, launched in Chicago in 1914, failed
after publishing two numbers.

In February, 1917, the Bohemian National Alliance in America started a
monthly in Chicago, _The Bohemian Review_. In the initial number the
editor, Dr. J. F. Smetanka, argues as follows: “If some two hundred
thousand people[10] can support more than eighty publications in the
Bohemian language, why should not three hundred thousand of their
children, more used to the English language, establish and support just
one organ devoted to their interests as Americans of Czech descent?”

  [10] The 1910 U. S. census has found in the country 539,392 people of
  Bohemian stock, of whom 228,738 were foreign born, 310,654 native born.

In conclusion it may be added, that _The New Europe_, of London, though
by no means a Bohemian or a Slavic magazine, has paid generous attention
to Bohemian questions as affected by the war. Among the collaborators of
_The New Europe_ are such able students of Austrian politics as Thomas G.
Masaryk, late Professor at the Bohemian University of Prague, Dr. R. W.
Seton-Watson of King’s College and H. Wickham Steed of the London _Times_.

PLANS, MAPS. ETC. Of especial interest to the students of American
Colonial history is the _Map of Virginia and Maryland this present
Year 1670 Surveyed and Exactly Drawne by the Only Labour and Endeavour
of Augustin Herrman, Bohemiensis_. A copy of this rare map is on file
in the Library of Congress in Washington.[11] In addition to the Map of
Maryland, Herrman made a sketch of New Amsterdam (New York) as that city
looked in 1650. Herrman is reputed to be the first Bohemian immigrant to
America, coming here in 1633. On the site of the former Bohemia Manor
in Cecil County, Maryland, there is still preserved a tombstone bearing
this inscription: “Avgvstine Herrmen Bohemian The First Fovnder Seater of
Bohemea Manner Anno 1661.” Like Wenceslaus Hollar, John Amos Komenský,
Paul Skála ze Zhoře, (the historian) and thousands of other Protestants,
Herrman, the son of a minister of the gospel, was forced to flee from
Bohemia after the overthrow of the Protestants there.

  [11] For Augustine Herrman’s life see _Památky Českých Emigrantů v
  Americe_ (Data on Bohemian Immigration to America), by Thomas Čapek,
  Omaha, 1907. J. V. Nigrin described Herrman’s map in the Chicago
  _Svornost_, August 2-9, 1914.

POLITICS AND WAR PUBLICATIONS. Publication has received an unwonted
impetus from the war. Never since the Thirty Years’ War have the
grievances and political aspirations of the Bohemians been given more
widespread publicity. Woodrow Wilson stated the situation precisely in one
of his books when he declared that “no lapse of time, no defeat of hopes,
seems sufficient to reconcile the Czechs of Bohemia to incorporation with
Austria.” Since 1848, the year which saw the dawn of constitutionalism
in the Hapsburg monarchy, the Bohemians have been asking for home rule;
the lessons of war at once suggested a bolder program, a new orientation.
Presently their leaders demand a separation from Austria and the inclusion
in an independent Bohemian State of the Slovaks of Hungary. Under this
subtitle the reader will find indexed articles by opponents (Heilprin)
as well as by well-wishers. Of the new orientation, that is, of a
Bohemian-Slovak State, free and independent, the leading intellect outside
of Bohemia is Professor Masaryk, temporarily an exile in England.

Thomas Garrigue Masaryk (the middle name is assumed from that of his
American wife, Miss Charlotte Garrigue of New York) is writing his name
large in what posterity will joyfully call Bohemian Emancipation. Masaryk
was born of humble Moravian-Slovak parentage in 1850. From the time he
entered public life, he was always a rebel, though in the finest sense of
the term; rebel in politics, rebel in literature, rebel in the manner he
interpreted Bohemian nationalism. That he was not summarily removed from
the chair he occupied in the Prague University was due to fear of the man,
to fear of his large following, and not to the want of powerful accusers
or because of scruples on the part of the government. In native literature
and politics alike, Masaryk’s activities are bound to leave a deep mark.
Fortunately for the cause, he was able to effect his escape from Austria
in the early stages of the war.

An able writer and a forceful advocate of Bohemia’s cause in the United
States is Charles Pergler, vice-president of the Bohemian National
Alliance in America.

PRAGUE. Von Humboldt was not the only traveler who thought that the
capital of the Bohemian Kingdom was the most beautiful inland town of all
Europe. American and English tourists who have visited the city all concur
in the opinion of von Humboldt. “Prague to a Bohemian,” to quote Arthur
Symons (_Harper’s Magazine_, Sept., 1901), “is the epitome of the history
of his country; he sees it as the man sees the woman he loves, with her
first beauty.” Lützow’s _Story of Prague_ will fully repay the reader who
would like to know more of this beautiful mediæval city.

SOCIOLOGY AND ECONOMICS. The theme of Slavic immigration to America within
the last twenty-five years has been considered by politicians, settlement
workers, immigration “specialists,” professional labor agitators and
others. The caption of Alois B. Koukol’s article in _The Charities and
Commons, A Slav’s a Man for A’ That_, sums up the situation precisely.
Yes, the American Slav is a man, for all that has been said about
him--chiefly against him--by professional labor agitators; but it took the
Great War to demonstrate his utility to America. No economist has written
of him with greater sympathy, understanding and tact than Emily Greene
Balch, teacher at Wellesley College. To get a more accurate perspective on
the subject, Miss Balch went to the source, to their homelands to observe
_Our Slavic Fellow Citizens_.

SOKOLS. The “Sokol Union” (Sokol in Bohemian means falcon, a bird typical
of strength and fearlessness) is, or rather was, until the Great War,
the most powerful non-political organization in Bohemia. Suspecting its
members of disloyalty, the authorities in the first stages of the war,
dissolved it. Miroslav Tyrš and Henry Fügner founded the “Sokol Union” in
1862. Body culture is the primary though not the sole aim of the society;
considered from its ethical aspect the “Sokol Union” contemplates nothing
less than the moral and physical regeneration of the Bohemian race.
From Bohemia the Sokol idea has gradually found its way into other Slav
countries, Poland, Russia, Serbia, Bulgaria and there are Sokols, men and
women, even in America.

TRAVEL AND DESCRIPTION. The old time travelers like Christian Frederick
Damberger, Georg Robert Gleig, Johann Georg Keysler, Johann Georg Kohl,
described not the kingdom of the Čechs, but Bohemia, the Province of
Austria. After 1621 Bohemia ceased to exist as an independent state and
the veneer of Teutonism thickened from year to year. So complete seemed
the denationalization of Bohemia in the eighteenth century and even in
the first part of the nineteenth, that foreigners visiting the baths at
Carlsbad and Marienbad were surprised to hear peasants talk in an unknown
tongue. As for the real Bohemia, after she had again found herself, no
English or American traveler has more trenchantly described her castles,
her mediæval churches, her splendid ruins, her roads, her industries, her
schools, than James Baker.

Two books by travelers of Bohemian nationality might be mentioned,
though, strictly speaking, they have no place in our Bohemica. They are
Dr. Emil Holub’s _Seven Years in South Africa; travels, researches, and
hunting adventures between the diamond fields and the Zambesi_, 1872-79,
translated by Ellen Frewer and published in London by Low, Marston, Searle
& Rivington in 1881. The other is B. Kroupa’s _An Artist’s Tour; gleanings
and impressions of travels in North and Central America and the Sandwich
Islands_. With illustrations by the author. Published by Ward & Downey,
London, in 1890.

The opinion has been expressed that John Lederer, the Virginia traveler,
was not an Austrian, as some surmise, but a Bohemian.[12] Lederer is by
no means an uncommon surname among Bohemians; moreover, there is evidence
that Bohemian exiles began settling in Virginia during the Thirty Years’
War.

  [12] _The Discoveries of John Lederer, in three several marches from
  Virginia to the west of Carolina, and other parts of the Continent_:
  Begun in March, 1669, and ended in September, 1670. Together with a
  General Map of the whole territory which he traversed. Collected and
  translated out of Latine from his Discourse and Writings by Sir William
  Talbot, Baronet. London. Printed by J. C. for Samuel Heyrick, at Grays

BOHEMIA IN BRITISH STATE PAPERS AND MANUSCRIPTS


In the compilation of the material here given the authors have consulted
and drawn from the following sources:

_Close Rolls_, preserved in the Public Record Office; _Calendar of the
Patent Rolls_; _Calendar of entries in the Papal Registers_ relating to
Great Britain and Ireland; _Letters and Papers Foreign and Domestic of
the reign of Henry VIII._, preserved in the Public Record Office, the
British Museum and elsewhere in England; _Calendar of State Papers_, of
the reign of successive English Kings; _Rolls of Parliament_, comprising
the Petitions, Pleas and Proceedings of Parliament from A.D. 1278 to
A.D. 1503; _Journal of the House of Lords_, compiled by the direction
of the Lords Committee for the _Journal_; _Collection of the State
Papers of John Thurloe_ (Thurlow), Secretary first to the Council of
State, and afterwards to the two Protectors Oliver and Richard Cromwell,
being Authentic Memorials of the English Affairs from the Year 1638 to
the Restoration of King Charles II.; _Papers relating to John Drury’s
Mission to the Continent_; _Reports of the British Historical Manuscripts
Commission_; _Reports of the Royal Commission on Historical Manuscripts_.

From the mass of references to Bohemia which one finds stored in the
_Calendar of State Papers_, the authors have practically noted only such
as have some bearing on the relationship between that country and England.

England’s most genuine concern in Bohemia dates to the first quarter of
the seventeenth century, when Elizabeth Stuart had been called to guide
the state affairs of the ancient Kingdom. “Elizabeth Stuart, Queen of
Bohemia” occupies a leading place in every index to the _Calendar of State
Papers_.

Certain school histories would make it appear that it was Austria and
Austria alone which combated the Turkish invasion of southeastern Europe.
A perusal of the reports which English ambassadors sent home from various
posts on the continent, make it clear that the Bohemian State contributed
its full share, in men and in treasure toward crushing the Turkish menace.
It is well worth recalling in this connection, that the present Hapsburg
monarchy really originated as a result of a voluntary union entered into
in 1526 between Austria, Bohemia and Hungary. United we stand, divided we
fall before the Turkish peril, was the chief argument used to effect the
union of these three states.

1302, Nov. 10. Westminster. Safe-conduct, until Easter, for Gotfried,
chaplain and envoy of the King of Bohemia and Poland, returning home.
Patent Rolls, v. 1301-1307, p. 72.

The king has received his letters of credence presented by Godfrey,

the relics of St. Thomas, sometime archbishop of Canterbury, which the
chaplain prayed on Wenceslauses behalf might be sent by the king, and
also other relics be sent by the chaplain to Wenceslaus whom he prays to

took them and brought them against their will to High Almain, where they
detain them in captivity, to the king’s distress, he requests the provost
of Beverley, his officers and ministers and all others interested to be
favorable and gracious to the prisoners in those matters wherein they
have to do with them, not seeking occasion against them in respect of
their beneficies or the fruits thereof, and pardoning William de Dalton if
during the present impediment he be not ordained to the orders which his
benefice requires. Same, v. 1338-40, p. 400.

the extirpation of heresy in Bohemia and neighbouring parts, but without
result, nevertheless, he does not lose hope, and daily prays that the
sick flocks may be healed of their leprosy or be cut off from the land
of the living, lest with their contagion they infect others. As the most
fitting leader of the attack on heresy and the defense of the church,
to convert or do battle with the heretics, the pope has singled out the
cardinal for many reasons, his wisdom and prudence, as shown formerly (at
Constance) in the matter of the union of the church, his high lineage,
his experience of great affairs, the glory of the realm and nation, which
will make him the more to be feared in war. The pope has therefore made
him legate a latere throughout all Germany and the realms of Hungary
and Bohemia, and urges him not to refuse to undertake the burden. The
enterprise will bring great and lasting glory to the King of England; etc.
Same, v. 7, p. 30.

1427, July. Rome. To Henry, Cardinal of England, legate of the Apostolic
see. The Pope rejoiced to receive his letters dated at Mechlin on the 15
of last month containing that he had undertaken the office of legate and
is hastening against the Bohemians. Same, v. 7, p. 34.

1427, Oct. Rome. To Henry, Cardinal of England, legate of the apostolic
see. The pope has with grief heard, from the legates chancellor, Nicholas

Bohemia Aug. 2, 1427, from the siege of Meis (Stříbro) to Tachau (Tachov)
where it was met by the legate, and from Tachau to the frontier on Aug.
4. He commends the cardinal for promptly betaking himself to Bohemia, and
for his efforts with the princes and the army. The cardinal must persevere
with his enterprise, and is to strive in season and out of season with
the princes and prelates of Almain. The clergy and prelates of Almain,
the archbishops of Cologne and Mainz if they had joined those in Bohemia
as they ought, and as had been arranged, the army would not have retreated
with such disgrace. Same, v. 7, p. 35.

Parliament, v. 4, p. 335.

they will prevent it from flooding Saxony and the whole of Germany. V. 4,
part 1, p. 17.

1527, Jan. 12. Sir John Wallop to Wolsey. It is thought the King of

1544, Aug. 16. Antwerp. Stephen Van Hassenpergk, a gentleman of Moravia,
to whom Henry, with his accustomed liberality has given something in his
realm, fears to be hindered in the enjoyment and receipt of it, and asks

deposition was unlawful. His answer to the first part was conclusive and
he is sent to prepare one to the second. He was sanguine at first, from
the zeal of the Prince, Buckingham and others, as to obtaining substantial
aid, but the King, unwilling to call a Parliament, sits still, seeing what

request to the City of London for a loan of £100,000. V. 10, p. 124.

religion, a desire for peace is everywhere pretended, but that which is
done proves more than that which is deceitfully conceived to the grief
and terror of Germany. The Bohemish cause might have been compounded by a
friendly treaty or decided by law, both which the Palatine always desired,
and it had been best for the Empire that it had been ended by law. It
might have been ended by arms in Bohemia, where the war began, etc.” V.

1654, July. Leszna, Poland. Peter Figulus (Komenský’s son-in-law), to
Samuel Hartlib in London. I cannot but bless the name of the Lord our God,
whenever I get something from you; for I see evidently, that God hath
chosen you long since to be an instrument in his hand, as for many other
his good works, so likewise to work a Godly comfort and edification in
our souls, whereof all your letters are full. The public letters which
were sent to you, are subscribed by baron Sadowsky, brother to him that
is in England. They are written in the name of all our exiled nation, and
directed to the lord protector, his highnes’s council, and the parliament.
The baron is a very good soldier, hath served long in the Swedish wars,
longs mightily for some help to the church of God grievously distressed
and afflicted in these quarters by the Papal and Austrian adherents,
being willing and resolved to spend himself, and do all what he can to
that end.... But he and we all leave the whole management of this affair
to the wisdom of the lord protector and his council. Perhaps they will
thereby be moved, or occasioned to take into a more serious deliberation
the case of our nation, and of us miserable exiles.... The emperor seeks
nothing but the suppression of the Gospel, and a dilatation of the
Austrian power. There is a monk lately converted to our religion, who
tells, that the emperor with the pope are resolved infallibly to make a
war against the protestants. All the cloisters have promised to such a war
to contribute each of them two soldiers and he tells, that they reckon
under the emperors dominions 96,000 cloisters or monasteries. But now
the exacerbation of minds increaseth by the most grievous persecution in
Bohemia, Moravia, Silesia and Austria. There are thousands of those, that
wait and pray to God for some Zyska, that would begin a religious war for
the protestant cause: yet none of the princes in Germany have the courage
to oppose themselves against the house of Austria. B. Sadowsky is fully
persuaded, that God would bless this enterprise thus seconded, and purely
directed to the glory of God and the relief of the oppressed; especially
if in the meantime the triumphant arms of the Commonwealth of England
permit not the Spaniards to assist the emperor.... My good Father Mons.
Comenius is once come again out of Hungary to us at Lesna; the Lord’s name
be praised for it. (Appended: Greeting in Latin by Comenius.) Collection
of the State Papers of John Thurloe.

1620, Oct. 21. The Hague. The new King of Hungary was in the field with
70,000 men. He had sent 20,000 men into Stiria (where they sacked and
burned divers places and ordered the States to join the Confederation),
and another 20,000 into Bohemia and Moravia. He himself was going with
30,000 into Austria, having left strong garrisons in Hungary. V.-, p. 395.

On the 28th ult. the King (Frederick) left Prague accompanied by the
Bohemian nobles, with two companies of guards and a thousand Silesian
horse, to go with the new King of Hungary into Moravia. The army of the
Emperor had again entered Bohemia, and beseiged Wittinga, but the Bohemian
army, having heard of Bucquoy’s designs from the prisoners, followed them
and forced them to retire. P. 395.

1620, Nov. 4. The Hague. From Prague, news comes that the soldiers of
Bavaria have surprised Brachaditz, killing 1120 persons, including women
and little children, and sacking the town, in addition to what Bucquoy had

1648. John Sictor, a Bohemian exile, to the House of Commons. Petition,
stating that it was nearly two years since he had presented to them 250
copies of Chronometrae (a specimen of which is probably among Lord Braye’s
papers) and other poems on the events of the Civil War, and entreating
a grant to enable him to return to Prague, which had been--as was
reported--occupied by the Swedish army. In Latin, v. I, p. 507.

1704-08. Baron Postheld, of Ollersfeld, being a native Bohemian and
a Protestant, and as such unable to enjoy his estate there, fled to
Denmark and took shipping for England aboard the Sorlings (Captain Cony,

George. But the ship was taken by the French squadron under Monsieur St.
Paul. Afterwards he was sent to Holland with a French pass and the French
King’s allowance for a prisoner (which was six livres only), whence he
came to England and delivered his letter to Prince George, who relieved
his necessities and recommended him to the King of Prussia, where, meeting
with the like ill fate, he returned to England, in hopes to be employed
in the forces ordered on the descent, but they being gone he prays to be
employed in some of the regiments which are designed to follow the said
descent. V. 8, p. 364.

following Lord Galway, in the summer of 1704.)

the Imperial Joseph and his army.... His accounts of the disaffection of
Hungary and Bohemia are very interesting.... V. 1, p. 349.


_The Manuscripts of Lord Montagu of Beaulieu_

1620, Sept. A Letter worthy the overlooking from a gentleman in Vienna
attending on Sir Henry Wotton, Lord Ambassador to the Emperor and sent to
his brother-in-law in London. Newsletter from Vienna:

“Now to return to the King of Bohemia. He hath likewise several armies in
the field, several friends ans several generals. The first is the Prince
of Anhalte, the second the Earl of Mansfield, the third the Earl of Tourne
(Thurn); who have under them fifty thousand men in several quarters,
whereby they have so well demanded themselves, and wherewith so well
withstood their enemies, that the Emperor hath no cause to boast of his
summers work, for his forces hitherto have done nothing but received loss,
and it is very likely that if the Transilvanian Prince do join once with
the King of Bohemia, they will surely put the Emperor to a sore plunge,
for story doth not acquaint us with such a formidable division again, and
I believe it is a secret locked up in the treasury of heaven to know or
discover what will be the issue of these terros and threatenings of all
sides.” V.-, pp. 97-104.

_The Manuscripts of the Earl of Westmorland_, at Apethorpe,
Northamptonshire

1619, Sept. 24. Heidelberg. The Elector Palatine to Sir E. Herbert.
Bohemia has become the scene of the most bloody and horrible tragedies
that have ever been heard of among Christians. The Roman Catholic Princes
and Electors have collected a great number of soldiers. Foreigners, mostly
in the pay of Spain, have been allowed to pass through the Empire into
Bohemia contrary to Imperial Constitutions. The Princes and States united
with me have armed in self-defence, considering the trouble that might
arise after the disbandement of the troops in Bohemia.... You will have
heard that the States of Bohemia have unanimously elected me, although I
had not in any way inspired to that crown. V. 10, p. 381.

1619, Dec. 24. The Hague. Viscount Doncaster to Sir E. Herbert ...
Ferdinand would give me no answer because the Spanish Ambassador, Count
d’Ogniate, was not there.... Finding no disposition to peace in either
part, I pretended the necessity of making a journey to the Spa for my
health. Here I received the news that the Prince Palatine was chosen King

1619. A Proposition made by the States of Bohemia in theyr Assembly at
Prague uppon the Election of a Kinge the 16th of August, beinge the
birthday of the Prince Elector Palatine. Albeit the nomination of a Kinge
of Bohemia requires a mature councell and deliberacion, which ought to
precede the nomination, it is an affayre notwithstandinge of the lesse
difficultye then the iejectinge (sic) of a king which gave a beginninge
to this and stands in neede both of a good justification and of a great
power, where (as) the nomination hath of those aydes but follows of
itselfe after the rejection.

Now therefore, since the iejection (sic) as the things importinge us is
already done, the nomination wilbe much the more easily provided that in
the choyse we stand not presisely upon such a perfection as the world
cannot yeild us. It behoves us also to set apart all perticuler passions
and to have regard only to those reasons that are fundamentall, for
there are requisite points so necessary to be considered in the election
of a Kinge that (it) is not for a good patriot to give his councell for
receivinge of one in whome those points required is not found, but one may
with very good assurance conclude for him in whome they doe dayly more
meete than in any other man.

As in the first place in such a subject it is necessary that there be none
of those thinges to be feard; for if Kinge Ferdinand was rejected, that
is to say, he ought not eyther to prosecute or advance in the respect
of religion nor exceede in the dependance of his owne counsaylors or
of strangers, but to joine himselfe with the States he ought not to be
opiniative nor given to doe thinges of his owne head, but to accomadate
the customes of his house and his to the ordinances and liberties of thys
crowne.

In the second place it is required that he affect the States’ reputation.

Thirdly, that in time both of peace and warr he governe his Kingdome by
his owne presence worthyly and profitably.

Fourthly, that confederates receive no cause of feare from eyther of
danger or damage. Since then there are few that are inferred into the
treaty of eleccion, that is to say, the Kinge of Denmarke, the Elector
Palatine, the Elector of Saxoni, the Duke of Savoy, and the Prince of
Transilvania, yt will therefore be to purpose to consider that, although
every one of these princes in his owne perticuler deserveth prayse and
commendation, neverthelesse there is amongst them a certaine diversity
which everyone by himselfe may prudently waigh. And forasmuch as it is
not permitted us to judge liberally of great princes in this place, it
shall suffice without offence of any breifely to deduce the reasons for
which the Elector Palatine ought to be esteemed very capable of the crowne
of Bohemia, and fitt to mainteyne the present estate of the kingdome,
for although his highnesse be not above 23 yeeres of age, he is a prince
of great judgement bred up from his cradle in goodnesse and vertue, one
that hath persons of quality about him as well of the feild as for the
state who are used to curteisy, and himselfe of very plentifull hopes, and
besides at this age he will better accomodate himselfe to the customes of
the kingdome then if he were more increased in yeares; and God bestows not
wisdome alwayes according to the age of a man, but to him that calls to
God for it in His feare.

He is a prince moderate, virtuos and resolute in his actions, quick and
sharpe in his discourse, true, courteous towards all men, very well
languaged, holds a very fayre court of earls, barrons and gentlemen,
loves and cherishes the nobility, imployes in his service even men of
meane condition when he finds meritt in them for it. He letts no worthy
service passe him without his acknowledgement, he governs his subjects
and country (in part the frontives of this kingdome) with prudence, gives
estimation to men of honor, holds a well ordered councell, frequents the
councell table in his owne person, takes an exact heed of the opinions
and propositions of his councellors, gives good cause of havinge his
judgement approv’d and commended of thinges of importance, inclines his
understandinge willingely to other mens information, loves the common good
and therein takes paines with zeale and without feare, beares compassion
to the afflicted, shewes himselfe laborious and resolved, is beloved
of his subjects, beares himselfe peaceably with his neighbors of what
religion soever they be, and winnes respect of those different beliefs for
his owne religion. He is well affected, yet those who are of another fayth
in his countries doe not find themselves disquieted in their consciences
nor in their exercise of their religion, so as every man may live freely
under him, videlicet, his conversation be honest and vertous. There is
none can abuse or accuse him of precipitation or opinatives (sic), a thing
worthy remarkeable (sic).

He is in correspondence with those of the house of Palatine and Bavoirs
and, notwithstandinge so, that cause forsakes nothinge of those rightes
nor of the duties belonginge to the generall estate of the country, and
howsoever that this prince be but younge and shewes himselfe courteous
and sweet towards his people, for all that there is no lightnesse,
dissollutions (sic) nor voluptuousnesse seene in him nor any disorder
nor excesse in his diett nor any avarice and digality (sic) or any other
thinge whatsoever unbecominge or contrary to the reputation of a prince.
For the assistance the crowne of Bohemia may expect from him, it may be
understoode of any man that not only he is not in debt, and that of his
revenue he can lay some things upp, but that also the Kinge of Great
Brittaine is his father-in-law, the Kinge of Denmark is his neere kinsman,
and likewise the Elector of Brandenbourh, the Prince of Orenge his uncle,
the Duke of Bullion his ally, the States of the United Provinces his
confederates, and ancient alliances with France, the Kinge of Sweden and
the Hanse Townes his friends, and for his correspondents the Duke of
Savoi, Venice and Switzerland. He is a good credit with all the Princes
Electors and other princes and Estates of the Empire, more perticulerly
with those of the Union he hath confederacies, the Prince of Transsilvania
and High Hungary doe beare affection to him, Saxonie and Bavoir are in
good termes with him, Mentz and the neighbouring countries looke uppon him
with honor and respect, insomuch as the crowne of Bohemia by this only
meanes may procure the amity of all those which we doe now labour for
with so much paine and travell, and by the same meanes may be conserved
and fortified against our enimies, which cannot of any other nominated in
the election be eyther expected or hoped for. And since it is a certainty
that this prince would not accept of the election for Ambition sake, but
only for the common good, we may therefore promise ourselves that he will
alwayes continue in the good affection he hath already shewed to this
crowne by the profitable counsell and assistances which as well as his
owne person as other wayes according to the occasions he hath made to
appeare, where (as) there are some others that for for theyr perticuler
conservations have greatly prejudiced not only the estates of the kingdome
of Bohemia but the countries also and provinces confederats.

Thirdly, the sayd confederated provinces are to consider whoe are already
in good understandinge with this prince, that they cannot have the like
confidence in others who are to much tyed in the respect of the house of
Austria to succour the sayd provinces in theyr neede, and in such a case
the confederations would bring them prejudice rather than benefitt, a
point of great waight touchinge this crowne as may be seene by experience.

Since then that all these qualities required doe meete in the person
of the Prince Elector, and that in those of the others treated in the
election (the Prince of Transilvania excepted, who hath his eye upon
another marke) there are many imperfections to be found, as may easily
be shewed, it is therefore a matter to no purpose longer to defer the
election, and so much the rather because the crowne of Bohemia with the
countries confederate will now after the rejection be more disquieted
than ever; and remayning without a head we shall find none whoe will duly
undertake our protection or defence. V. 7, p. 269.

1619. The joyfull receivinge, triumphant entronce and stately formall
coronation of Fredericke, the Prince Elector Palatine, and the Lady
Elizabeth, Princesse Electoresse, King and Queen of Bohemia, on Munday and
Thursday the 25th and 28th day of October ould stile, 1619.

It is knowne unto all men for what weightie reasons the States of the
kingdome of Bohemia and of the incorporated countries have with one joynte
consent excluded Kinge Ferdinand from the kingedome, and have in his
place, with an especially mutuall agreement, chosen and named for theire
kinge the right highe and mightie Prince Fredricke by the grace of God
Erle Palatine of the Rhyne, Duke of both the Bavaries, Prince Elector
and Vicar of the Romane Empire, whome after a lawfull callinge they have
crowned on the 4th and 7th dayes of November, newe stile, that is, the
25th and 28th of October, ould stile, 1619.

Uppon the 21-31 of October, 1619, afternoone, came his Majestie with
the Queene his wife, the younger prince theire eldest sonne, his Lord
brother Duke Lodowicke, the Duke of Wertemberge, the 2 Princes of Anhalt,
together with his whole retinue, consistinge of five companies of curast
horsemen, 500 harquebus horsemen, and 3 auncients of footemen of 300 a
peece, with many coatches and a very greate number of wagons laden with
the carriages towards Prague, and beinge come within 2 or 3 Englishe miles
there of into a faire pleasant place be a parke called the Starre, where
the Lords, the States of the kingdome of Bohemia and of the incorporated
countryes of Moravia, Silesia and both of Lusatiæs, with the magistrates
and chiefe men of the 3 citties of Prague, attended his Majesties cominge,
accompanied with about a 1000 horse, very statelie and well appointed;
there the(y) alighted and received him out of his coatche with greate
state, honor and reverence, unto whome the Baron of Tallenberge, Lord
Greate Chamberlaine, made a speech in the Bohemian tongue, which the
Barron of Ruppa interpreted in Dutche; his Majestie gave thereunto so good
an answere as that the States much rejoyced thereat, which done, they came
one after another, kneeled downe and kissed his Majesties hand. In like
respect every way was the Queene received, save that they kneeled not unto
her.

Then his Majestie mounted on horsebacke, but yett stayed a whyle, till the
lords and gentry were also mounted and that theire Coronell Kinski had
orderly marshall’d them, whose discipline his Majestie well liked. Then
the(y) marched on conductinge his Majestie towerds Prague; when he came
into the cittie, the citizens of the 3 citties of Prague stoode in armes,
very bravely appointed, as well on horsebacke as on foote on both sides of
the street and open places, makeinge a lane or courte or guarde frome the
entringe in of the cittie unto the castle; theire Majesties rid alonge,
and that in this manner.

They of the little cittie were one cornett of horse with 6 trumpetts
and one kettledrumme, they of the newe cittie one cornett of horse with
6 trumpetts and one kettledrumme, they of the ould cittie one cornett of
horse with 6 trumpetts and one kettledrumme, as also another companie of
200 horse voluntary well-willers, and 7 companies of foote, all citizens,
exceedingly well mounted and furnished.

And when his Majestie came nere unto the newe forte and bullwarke before
the castle, whereon stood a companie on foote with a displayed ancient,
there were standinge 400 boures or husband and laboringe countrymen
representinge the communalty and 4th state or parte of the land, all
armed accordinge to the ould and auncient custome and manner of their
country, videlicet, they had an ould weatherbeaten ancient wherein was
painted the name Ziseha (sic),[19] theire auncient captaine or generall
and deliverer, with a challice, and the hoste or signe of a wafer, eache
theire armes of the ould fashion, a hevy brestplate, a massie headepeece
to assault and scale with all, wooden clubes set with iron spikes, iron
flayles of threshalle, crosbowes, great iron sheildes, with 2-handed
swords, and stood in battaile array as Lizeha (sic) had in his time
appointed them. When his Majestie came unto them he stayed a while and was
by theire captaine entertained and welcommed with a Lattine ovation, who
did greatlie congratulate his Majesties comeinge, and havinge concluded,
the multitude began to cry out, Vivat, vivat Rex Fredericus! and so ran
together to route on a heape one amongst another, makinge such a greate
noyse with theire armes as that his Majestie tooke greate pleasure thereat
and could not forbeare laughter. Before his Majestie there marched 400
horsemen under theire Coronell Kinsby (sic), representinge the knightehood
and gentry of the land, who had 8 silver trumpetts and 4 other trumpetts
with 8 cettledrummes; theire cornett was of blew damaske whereon were the
Prince Elector Palatine’s armes richly imbrodered; the Lords Derectors
and States of the land followed after bravelie mounted; after them rid
the Duke of Mansterberge (sic) of Silesia, haveinge on his right hand the
Duke of Wertemberge and on the left hand the younge Prince of Anhalt.
Then rid his Majestie’s Lord brother Lodowicke with ould Prince Dhinstion
(Christian) of Anhalt, after whome imediatelie followed his kinglie
Majestie on a blacke greate horse covered with a blacke footeclothe
all over imbrodered with silver. Then followed the Queene ridinge in a
exceeding rich coatch, like the whereof had never beene seene afore in
Prague, and by her sate the younge Prince her sonne; after her Majestie
came 2 other coatches wherein were the wives and daughters of divers
princes and earles, after which followed sundry other coatches with many
gentlewoemen, maides of honor and others, and after these came lastly the
Prince Electors owne coronell and harquebus horsemen and footemen in good
order, the horsemen well mounted, all statelie deckt with brave attire,
faire liveries and gallant scarfes of blewe, the King’s colours.

  [19] John Žižka, the Hussite.

This ridinge through the cittie lasted 3 houres longe, and was beheld of
many thousands of people to theire greate admiracion; his Majestie tooke
therein greate pleasure and did oftentimes put off his hatt, and with a
chearefull countenance bowe himselfe towerds the people, as did also the
Queene both chearefully and with greate majestie. When they were come
within the castle court there the(y) sawe a man sittinge above uppon the
churche with an auncient in his hand and waveing it over his heade, and
then another man sittinge uppon the rounde ball on the steeple toppe, who
played a longe time uppon a kettledrumme.

In the castle court theire Majesties alighted nere unto the longe hall
and went towerds the greene chamber, where there stoode a great number
of Bohemian laydes and gentlewoemen of good rancke richly attired, who
received her Majestie with greate reverence, and so attended on her into
her lodgings. All things were accomplished with such state, honor, and
good successe as the like was never yett done unto any Romane Emperor; all
which shall shortlie be cutt in brasse, and made publicke unto the viewe
of the worlde.

Here followeth the King’s coronacion.

All the highe officers of the kingdome as of nobilitie the Lord Chiefe
Burgrave Lord Bhonstowe, Barron of Bercha, the Lord Highe Steward of

stile, 2 (sic) Novemb. newe stile, to give their attendance, and doe
their service at the coronacion, the same was done on Munday the 4th of
Novemb. newe stile, that is the 25 of October. ould stile in the manner as
followeth.

First after the lords, the States, had attended his Majestie into the
castle churche and brought him into St. Wentzeslawes chappell, there they
putt uppon his Majestie the regall robe, which was a longe white sattine
or damaske gowne all over imbroidered with goulde; before went 40 preists,
singeinge men and querresters in white surplices, then behinde them 7
other more principall preists in blewishe or violett cloakes with rich
taffitie hatts of the same collor; after them followed the officers of the
kingedome carryinge the jewells and ensignes belongeing to the coronation,
as namely, the hereditary Archbutler of the kingedome of Bohemia with a
gilded silver tunne, the hereditarie Archcupberer with a silver potte,
and 2 others followinge them, bearinge 2 gilded bowles; the(n) followed
the Lord High Steward of the land with the scepter, the Lord Chiefe
Justice of the kingedome with the regall ball, the Archburkgrave with
the crowne, bearinge it in bothe his hands; after went the Heralde of
the kingedome Bohemia in his coate of armes with a white staffe in his
hand, then the hereditarie Lord High Marshall of the crowne of Bohemia
with the regall electorall sworde in a red velvett sheathe, after whome
immediatelie followed his Majestie bareheaded, havinge on the right hand
the Lord Administrator of the Bohemian Protestant Colledge and on his left
side another Bohemian preacher (who afterwards made the sermon), both
of them attyred in blacke velvett gownes. These 2 brought his Majestie
unto the alter, where they kneeled downe with him and prayed a while,
and then goeinge backe from the alter, they sett his Majestie in a faire
chaire of hayre-colored vellvett, who returneinge to the alter, the Lord
Administrator began to act and reade aloude certaine statutes of Lattine,
which done, the trumpetts sounded a greate noise; after was begun to be
sunge in Lattine Veni Sancte Spiritus, and thereuppon in the Bohemian
tongue God the Father dwell us by was also sunge, a collect reade, and the
preacher putt on his white surplice, went up into the pulpitt to preach
in the Bohemian speech. After he had propounded the matter he was to
treate of, and prayed, he stayed there till the people had sunge the 20th
Psalme also in the Bohemian language; then he went on with his sermon,
and yet in the meanewhile, betweene the partes thereof, were 3 severall
times Bohemian hymnes sunge; the sermon beinge ended the foresaid Lord
Administrator went againe to the alter and did there in Lattine singe the
Letany, which done, the trumpetts and musicke made a marveilous sweete
melodie, which done, a chapter out of the Apostle Paule to Timothy was
reade before the altar, and 2 Bohemian himnes sunge; this ended, the Lord
Administrator, with the preacher, the Lord Chief Burgrave, the Lord High
Steward and Lord Greate Chamberlaine of the land, attended his Majestie
to the alter, where they all kneeled downe and prayed againe. Then
they stoode up and, haveinge spoken unto his Majestie concerninge the
accustomed oathe he was to take, the Lord Chiefe Burgrave spake thrice
alone unto the people to this effect: “Seeing we are nowe aboute to
crowne his Majestie, it is thought meete againe to admonishe you joyntlie
to tell us freelie, whether it be your wills that we shall proceede on
forwards and crowne his Majestie?” Whereupon the people with a full and
jointe consent cryed out amaine and said everie time, “We will.” Then the
Lord Cheife Burgrave held a booke unto his Majestie, whereon his Majestie
haveing laide his 2 fingers, the Lord Cheife Burgrave reade the accustomed
oathe unto him in the Bohemian tongue, which his Majestie performed unto
the Lords the States repeatinge every word of it after the Lord Chief
Burgrave. Then his Majestie kneeled downe before the altar, where the
Lord Administrator stoode before him, holdinge on the booke a gilded box,
wherein was oyle, of which he tooke a little with one finger and anointed
therewith his Majestie’s foreheade, strekeinge it in forme of a crosse.
This beinge done, the Lord High Marshall delivered the sword into the
hands of the Lord Administrator, who took it and presentlie gave it to his
Majestie, sayinge these wordes: Per Dominum nostrum Jesum Christum Amen.

After this he delivered unto him, first the scepter, then the regall ball,
put a red velvett cap upon his heade, and the lord Administrator takeinge
up the crowne in his hands, whereon the Lord Chiefe Burgrave, the Lord
Highe Steward of the land, the Lord Great Chamberlaine of the land, and
the other preist or minister tooke holde, and so joyntly sett the crowne
uppon his Majesties head in the name of the Holy and Blessed Indivisible
Trinitie, and then (he) was by them all lifted up, attended to his chaire
and sett therein with the crowne upon his heade and the ball and scepter
in his hands. Now when all this was done the Lord Cheife Burgrave said
unto the Lords the States: “My Lords, seeinge our gracious Kinge is
already crowned, so are we nowe accordinge unto our custome to sweare
allegeance unto him and to the crowne and acknowledge him for our gracious
Kinge and lord.” Hereupon the Lord Cheife Burgrave kissed the regall ball,
his Majestie’s right hand, touched the crowne with his 2 fingers, bowed
himself before his Majestie, and so went aside, giveinge way. About an
100 persons did all the like. After this did the Lord Administratour with
a loude voyce singe Te Deum laudamus. This followed the whole musicke,
cornetts, saggebutts, trumpetts, kettledrummes; the bells in all three
citties of Prague did ringe, 28 peeces of great ordinance made readie for
the purpose were discharged, and the citizens and souldiers of the cittie,
beinge 13 companies of foote and sundry cornetts of horse, discharged all
theire ouer (sic).

After that his Majestie had (sittinge in his coronation chaire) knighted
5 lords and 3 gentlemen, he rose and went thence attended with all the
lords others to the records of the land, where also accordinge to auncient
use and custome he sware to preserve and mainetaine them and subscribed
unto all he was to subscribe unto. Where as his Majestie went and returned
there were divers sorts of coynes of gould and silver throwne amongst
the people, one of which had on the one side this inscription, God and
theire (sic) cuntryes have given unto me this crowne, and on the other
side were five hands houldinge on a crowne, signifying the kingedome of
Bohemia and the 4 incorporated cuntries. All alonge the streetes, and
within the castle whereupon his Majestie rid and went to the records of
the land, there was broade clothe spreade on the ground, which at his
comeing backe was all given for larges and made prizd unto the people. At
his comeinge backe into the castle dinner was made ready, where was one
table of state prepared, whereat his Majestie sate in his regall robes
with the crowne on his heade, and the Queene with him. There were other
tables besides furnished as whereat sate the above said greate officers
and the rest of the Lords the States, and the(n) 14 other free tables
for strangers: within the castle court there were goodlie fountaines
made, which untill night ran plentifullie with wine red and white free
for all to take of that would. About the midst of dinner his Majestie,
the crowne to be taken off, stoode up and dranke into the health of all
the 3 states and Bohemia, and caused it to be drunke round aboute hall.
In the interim betweene his Majestie’s coronacion and the Queene’s, his
Majestie first confirmed all the officers and governours of the kingedome
in theire offices and governmentes, commanndinge justice and government
to goe on in the ordinarie due course as was meete and requisite. Then
next perceivinge that the stewes and brothelhouses were there still in
use and tollerated, and had theire house within the bulwarke round aboute
the cittie, and withall a world of poore and needy people as well of able
bodyes as aged, sicke and impotent, lyinge and standinge in the streets
to the great dishonor of God and of religion, his Majestie both put downe
the stewes presentlie and commannded an hospitall and house of correccion
to be forthwith builded; that so theis aged, sicke and impotent might be
sufficientlie relived and mainetained and the idle bodie to be put into
gives and forced to worke and labour for theire liveinge, that so both
the cittie and the state might be eased and clensed of all such, as is his
owne cuntry.

The Queene’s coronacion was on Thursday the 28th of October ould stile in
all respects like the Kinge’s saye that the sermon was in High Dutche and
no coynes cast about thereat. V. 7, p. 23.

NOTES.

Once Protestant, Bohemia at present is overwhelmingly Catholic. In 1890
the Catholics numbered 96.17 per cent, the Protestants 2.22 per cent and
the Jews 1.56 per cent. It must be borne in mind, however, that prior to
1781, in which year the “Patent of Toleration” was issued, no other church
was tolerated outside the Catholic.

Bohemia may be said to be a country of farmers, judging from the number
of persons engaged in agricultural pursuits. Out of every one thousand
people 408.7 per cent are engaged in the cultivation of soil and forestry;
352.6 per cent find employment in manufacturing and mining, 59.5 per cent
in commerce, railroading, etc., and 87.8 per cent earn their living as
laborers.

Illiteracy in Bohemia is rapidly disappearing. According to the general
census of 1890 the ratio of adults unable to read and write is 19.69 per
cent, which compares favorably with that of the most advanced of European
nations. Figures compiled in 1881 show the ratio of illiteracy to be in
England, 16 per cent; Scotland, 12; Ireland, 33; France, 22; Germany, 6;
Russia, 89; Austria 51 (education is especially backward in Hungary and
Transylvania); Italy, 59; Spain and Portugal, 66; Switzerland, 12, Belgium
and Holland, 14; Scandinavia, 13.

Curiously enough, the natives do not call their country “Bohemia,” but
_Cechy_, nor themselves “Bohemians,” but “Cechs,” pron. “Chekhs” or
“Czechs.” Tradition has it that the leader’s name who conducted the first
Slav tribe to Bohemia was Cech, hence the race name. The Latin chroniclers
of the Middle Ages were altogether ignorant of this, and persisted in
calling the people who bore it Bohemians, and thus the Slavs of Bohemia
inherited the name of the Boii (Germanic race) whom they had displaced.

Superintendent of the Census Bureau, Mr. Porter, would hardly sanction the
method adopted by the Austrian government in determining the nationality
of a people. In Bohemia the _language_ spoken is the test. Americans or
Irishmen would, therefore, in Austria, be classed as “English,” because
they speak that language. This ingenious method is highly “useful,”
especially in the present conflict of races, for it helps to bolster up
the minority in the land, deceiving many as to the actual strength of the
Chekhs, thousands of whom use the German language in business and social
relations. Accepting the language as a test, 62.79 per cent were found
in 1890 in Bohemia to “use” the Bohemian and 37.19 per cent the German
tongue.

Austria is a perfect mosaic of races. This diversity is best exemplified
in the complexion of the schools, where all the dominant languages of the
monarchy clamor for recognition. There are universities at Vienna, Prague,
Gratz, Innsbruck, Cernovice, Cracow, Lwow, Buda-Pesth, Kolosvar and
Zagreb. The universities in Vienna, Gratz, Innsbruck and Cernovice teach
in German; the Prague in Chekh; that of Lwow in Polish and Ruthenian; that
of Cracow in Polish; those of Buda-Pesth and Kolosvar in Magyar; that of
Zagreb in Croatian.

An Englishman traveling through Bohemia thus describes the people in the
_Illustrated News_: “As for the people there was not a sign of the dreamy
sadness and strange mysticism of the Slav that one is forever reading
about. They worked with a dogged energy and commonplace industry that
would not have been out of the way in Zola’s peasants. In no other country
is it so impossible to remain unconscious of the surplus population
question and the hopelessness of the peasant’s fate. In Germany, or during
our rides in France, in Italy, in England we sometimes had the road to
ourselves; in Bohemia, never. There was always someone just behind us or
in front of us.” This latter statement about the density of population
will be understood when we remember that but 4½ per cent. of all the land
in Bohemia is not under cultivation.

Like Ireland Bohemia is governed by a lieutenant governor appointed by
the sovereign. The highest legislative power in the land is the diet
convoking in Prague and composed of 242 members elected by the people.
One archbishop, three bishops and two university rectors, however, hold
their seats by virtue of office. As may be imagined the power the diet
exercises is very limited, the deliberations depending on the pleasure
or displeasure of the emperor, who selects the presiding officer. The
latter is styled as the “marshal,” or “high marshal.” The diet has the
prerogative of electing a standing committee of eight members known as
the “land committee” (zemsky vybor) and over this committee again the
marshal presides. For political and administrative purposes the country
is divided into circles, the circles are sub-divided into captaincies.
The two crownlands, Moravia and Silesia, have each 100 and 31 deputies in
their home diets, respectively. The government officials, though great
reforms have taken place of late, are far from popular. This is especially
the case with the military captains, for whom the people conceive as much
liking as the Italians had for Radetzky and Pachta. Insufferably stiff,
cold, repellent and severe, they were regarded by the people as the source
of all their woes.

                      _Masaryk and His Work_

A patriot desires but one reward: that he should live to see his labors
bear fruit. On January 12, 1917, thousands of Czechs in the United
States found time in the midst of their joyous celebration of the dawn
of Bohemia’s independence to remember the grand old man of Bohemia,
Thomas Garigue Masaryk. He it was who put the ancient kingdom of Bohemia
once more upon the map of Europe. On the day when the Allies’ answer to
President Wilson was published, he surely was happy, for he had proof that
his titanic labors, his tremendous personal and family sacrifices were not
made in vain. Bohemia’s right to independence was clearly recognized by
the Allies and the liberation of the country from foreign domination was
made one of the conditions of peace.

For centuries no one in Bohemia did more than dream of independence. This
Slav country had been subject to the Hapsburgs for so many generations
and so thoroughly was it repressed that even the boldest spirits among
its leaders regretfully put aside all thoughts of absolute freedom as
visionary and aimed merely at securing for the lands of the Bohemian crown
the widest possible autonomy within the confines of the Austrian Empire.
On several occasions during the long reign of Francis Joseph the Czechs
came near to the realization of these moderate ambitions, but always the
emperor drew back unable to give up his ambition to be the German ruler of
German or Germanized subjects.

Of late years the struggle of the Czechs for a certain amount of liberty
at home and for the right to participate in the government of the Empire
was growing more and more hopeless. The general European situation was
undergoing a change greatly to the disadvantage of Bohemia. The Hapsburg
realm was losing its standing as a great power, due mainly to the constant
internal dissensions and language disputes, while the truly national
states of Europe were growing in population, wealth and military power.
Above all Germany, excelling in industrial and military preparedness,
aggressive and domineering, was looking for new worlds to conquer. America
was out of the question, for the United States was guarding jealously
against the invasion of the two western continents through its Monroe
doctrine. Germany’s African colonies were unsuitable for colonization by
white men and constituted merely a financial burden. Only Asia offered
an undeveloped field--the ramshackle Turkish Empire--and to that land of
promise the road from Germany led through the dual empire and the Balkan
states. Prague was the first stage on the Berlin-Bagdad highway, and
the Czech people were the first obstacle to German expansion. It was a
part of Germany’s plan to reduce Austria to complete subserviency by the
exaltation of its German minority and a more thorough repression of the
Slav and Latin races, with the assistance of the Magyars.

There were not lacking statemen in Bohemia who saw whither things were
tending. Two of them stand out above the other Czech patriots: Dr. Charles
Kramar and Professor Thomas G. Masaryk. Kramar, the leader of the Young
Czech party, for years representative of the middle class of Bohemia,
yielded to no one in his devotion to the race from which he sprang or in
the sincerity of his intentions to serve the Czech people to the best
of his great ability. But being a wealthy manufacturer, a “practical”
man, intent upon gaining results in the Vienna parliament, he failed to
draw the only conclusion necessitated by the changed European situation
which he so well understood. He realized that Germany was “peacefully
penetrating” the Danube monarchy, that the very existence of the Czech
nation was imperiled; on the floor of the parliament and in the Austrian
delegation
