Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Brief History of Bavaria There have been innumerable scholarly and scientific histories written on Bavaria, in German, and several excellent works on various phases of her remarkable history, and of the vivid personalities which so invade her past, in English. The guide books which are to be found in all her more important towns and cities are very adequate, although of necessity much has to be left untold, owing to their size, and concentrated as they chiefly are on the one place in question. For instance Mr. Headlam's "Nuremberg," a truly significant and exquisite little work, and Miss Frances Gerard's Romance of Ludwig II." (although the latter does contain several interesting details of the unfortunate Monarch's Kingdom, apart from Munich and the curious castles which he built). There are various other works, too, dealing with the stories of Bayreuth, Oberammergau, Munich &c.;but a want has been expressed for a small work which would contain as it were, and concentrate into a small edition, outlines of all these various subjects and places.
