Excerpt from The Coming of the Slav The following preface was written during the busy sessions of the Pan-Presbyterian Council at Pittsburgh in September, 1921, by Dr. F. Zilka. He is a professor in the Evangelical Theological Faculty of John Huss in the University of Prague, and was decorated by the Sorbonne of Paris. Rev. J. V. Kovar translated it from the Bohemian; and it is worthy of mention that Mr. Kovar traveled thousands of miles in Siberia with Czechoslovak troops. The writer wishes here to express cordial gratitude for the kindness of Prof. Zilka, and of Mr. Kovar. It is not customary for a foreigner to call the attention of the reading public to a book by a native author, and it was only with great hesitation that I yielded to Dr. Edwards' request to write these few sentences. In explanation of this unusual step, and at the same time in justification of it, is the fact that the subject of the book is far more alien to American readers than to myself. To me, as a Slav and a Czech, the matter with which Dr. Edwards is dealing is indeed near, very near to my heart. For this reason, though with some doubts, I consented to violate custom, and as a foreigner address a few words to American readers. Let me say, right at the beginning, that the book of Dr. Edwards bears traces of its American origin; it is specifically American. I think that any Slav would deal with the subject in a different way. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from My Slav Friends And then I moved a little and saw that the clergyman was alone in the carriage and that he was taking into his hands a large picture, Which stood upright on the seat of honour. He descended from the coach holding the picture, framed in jewels that sparkled in the sunlight, before his breast. It was an icon of the Sorrowful Face of Christ crowned with thorns.

Excerpt from Slav or Saxon: A Study of the Growth and Tendencies of Russian Civilization The certainty of the coming conflict between the Slav and the Saxon, which was foreshadowed in the edition of this work published in 1887, has become more generally apparent during the past year, owing to Russian intrigues in China; while the cordial friendship between England and America, which has grown up during our war with Spain, has made possible the union of American and English influence for the protection of our common civil ization against the encroachments of autocracy. The time therefore seems opportune for issuing a re vised edition, bringing down to the present moment the existing facts relating to the coming struggle, a struggle which seems certain to involve in its results the destiny of the whole human race.

Excerpt from The Slavs: Past and Present Poland). Some of them, starting from that original seat, went south and Occupied what is now Hungary and thence went far into the Balkan peninsula. Others went west, far beyond the territory in which stands Berlin - no Germans were there at that and east. The original Slavs were, Of course, not a civilized group of tribes. They were barbarians, just as their west ern neighbors, the Germans, were. The Germans occupied the Roman Empire, destroyed it, took over some rudiments of what they allowed to survive of Roman civilization, and at the same time began to press the Slavs back. They sub dued the outlying Slav countries and turned the population mostly into slaves. Then a German Roman Empire was created, and on its eastern outskirts were formed marches with the special object of fighting the Slavs. On the other hand, from Scandinavia the Vikings were making their way into Russia, while from the east Mongolic invaders, Bulgars and Magyars (the modern Hungarians) were at tacking the southern Slavs, the Magyars conquering Hun gary while the Bulgars subdued some of the Balkan Slavs (seventh century The Magyars extirpated some of the Slavs they conquered and turned others into a subject population (ninth and tenth centuries While those unfortunate victims have kept their Slavic tongue, the Mag yars have stuck to their own language, which they still speak today. The Bulgars accepted the language of the conquered tribes and both groups came finally to form one nation partly of Mongolic, partly of Slavic, descent, but speaking a Slav tongue. Similar was the history of the Vikings in Russia. They organized the country into what we might call a political unit (ninth century). The organ ization was Norse, the bulk of the people Slavic, the lan guage of the whole was Slavic - Russian.

Excerpt from A Slav Soul: And Other Stories SO in a paragraph in one of his sketches Alexander Kuprin gives his feelings about his life and his work, and in that expression perhaps we see his characteristic attitude towards the world of which he writes. One of the strongest tales in this collection, 'tempting Providence, is very representative of Kuprin in this vem.

Excerpt from The Pobratim: A Slav Novel Now, it has always been a most uncommon occurrence amongst us for a man to get shaved on a Friday. Mind, I do not mean to say that I consider this operation as being in any way unlucky if performed on that day. We, of course, cut our hair during the new moon; but there is no special time for shaving. Cutting one's nails on a Saturday brings on illnesses, as we all know; and I, without being superstitious, can name you lots of people who fell ill simply out of disregard to the wisdom of their elders. Nay, I myself once suffered a dreadful toothache for having thoughtlessly pared my nails on the last Saturday of the year. Shaving on Saturday, however, cannot be considered as harmful either to the body or to the soul. Still, as we all go to the barber's once a week, on Sunday morning, it has hitherto been regarded as part of our dominical duties. There was, therefore, some particular reason that made these prominent citizens shave on a Friday; could the reason be another change in the Government?

Excerpt from The Slav Nations The task of writing a book on the subject of the Slav nations has afforded me very great pleasure, and I hope my work will succeed in its object and arouse the sympathies of the British public for my race. In preference to giving long disquisitions, I have purposely adopted a simple narrative tone in sketching some of the most interesting points in the national life of the Slav peoples. I have only touched upon historical events in so far as this was necessary for the context, and owing to lack of space I have been unable to do more than allude to Slav art and literature. On the other hand, a good deal of valuable information on this subject will be found in the epilogue "Buried Treasures," which the eminent Serbo-Croat essayist, Mr. Dimitrij Mitrinovic has kindly placed at my disposal.
