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 Knowing the Bohemian language and being in a position to make use of native sources, some of them still unpublished, Count Lützow has had an undoubted advantage over Hus commentators who were not so fitted.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.
