Acknowledgements

The translator and editor wishes to acknowledge his indebtedness for help, counsel, and encouragement to Professor Ritchie Robertson, Dr. Deborah Viëtor-Engländer, Dr. Ailsa Wallace and, not least, Dr. Patrik von zur Mühlen of the Friedrich-Ebert Stiftung in Bonn, to whose liberal and generous spirit Hermynia Zur Mühlen would undoubtedly have responded as warmly as she responded, a century ago, to that of his great-grandfather, “Uncle Max.” He also wishes to thank Dr. Alessandra Tosi, his editor at Open Book Publishers, for much valuable advice and infinite patience.
