This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1868 edition. Excerpt: ...the Enns, the boundary between Lower and Upper Austria, is crossed. Stat. Enns (Adler; Krone), is a picturesquely situated town, the fortifications of which were constructed with the money paid by England as a ransom for Richard Cceur de Lion. The lofty old watch-tower in the market-place was erected by Emp. Maximil. II. in 1565. Schloss Ennseck on an eminence, the property of Prince Auersperg, contains a collection of Rom. antiquities. Next stat. Asten. About 3 M. S.W. lies the extensive Augustine Abbey of St. Florian, one of the most ancient in Austria. The present edifice is of the 18th cent. The library, with 40.000 vols., contains some valuable MSS.; the pictures are chiefly copies. The collection of coins is very extensive and admirably arranged, inferior only to that at Vienna. A short distance from St. Florian rises the Tillysburg, a square building with towers at the corners. In 1623 the castle of Volkersdorf was presented to Tilly, the general of the Imperial troops in the Thirty Years' War, by Emp. Ferdinand Il. It was subsequently taken down by Tilly's nephew, who caused the present castle to be erected, nearly on the same site, in 1636. It is now the property of the abbey. The line crosses the Traun, not far from the market-town of Ebelsberg, scene of a sanguinary conflict between the Austrians under Hiller and the French under Masse'na, in which the latter lost 6000 men, May 3rd 1809.

American Military History provides the United States Army-in particular, its young officers, NCOs, and cadets-with a comprehensive but brief account of its past. The Center of Military History first published this work in 1956 as a textbook for senior ROTC courses. Since then it has gone through a number of updates and revisions, but the primary intent has remained the same. Support for military history education has always been a principal mission of the Center, and this new edition of an invaluable history furthers that purpose. The history of an active organization tends to expand rapidly as the organization grows larger and more complex. The period since the Vietnam War, at which point the most recent edition ended, has been a significant one for the Army, a busy period of expanding roles and missions and of fundamental organizational changes. In particular, the explosion of missions and deployments since 11 September 2001 has necessitated the creation of additional, open-ended chapters in the story of the U.S. Army in action. This first volume covers the Army's history from its birth in 1775 to the eve of World War I. By 1917, the United States was already a world power. The Army had sent large expeditionary forces beyond the American hemisphere, and at the beginning of the new century Secretary of War Elihu Root had proposed changes and reforms that within a generation would shape the Army of the future. But world war-global war-was still to come. The second volume of this new edition will take up that story and extend it into the twenty-first century and the early years of the war on terrorism and includes an analysis of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq up to January 2009.

Carl Friedrich Gauss’s textbook, Disquisitiones arithmeticae, published in 1801 (Latin), remains to this day a true masterpiece of mathematical examination. .
When in 1821, the Greeks rose in violent revolution against the rule of the Ottoman Turks, waves of sympathy spread across Western Europe and the United States. More than a thousand volunteers set out to fight for the cause. The Philhellenes, whether they set out to recreate the Athens of Pericles, start a new crusade, or make money out of a war, all felt that Greece had unique claim on the sympathy of the world. As Byron wrote, 'I dreamed that Greece might Still be Free'; and he died at Missolonghi trying to translate that dream into reality. William St Clair's meticulously researched and highly readable account of their aspirations and experiences was hailed as definitive when it was first published. Long out of print, it remains the standard account of the Philhellenic movement and essential reading for any students of the Greek War of Independence, Byron, and European Romanticism. Its relevance to more modern ethnic and religious conflicts is becoming increasingly appreciated by scholars worldwide. This new and revised edition includes a new Introduction by Roderick Beaton, an updated Bibliography and many new illustrations.
