Excerpt

The Family of Saxe-Coburg is one of the most ancient and illustrious of the Sovereign Houses of Europe. Its Princes, who frequently commanded armies and acquired great military renown, were as eminent in peace as the munificent Patrons of Art, Science, and Literature. Originally Counts of Wettin, they became, by inheritance, Margraves of Meissen and Landgraves of Thuringia: and of the latter potent Race sole Representatives at the decease of Hermann, Landgrave of Thuringia and Emperor of Germany.

The Reigning Duke of Saxe Coburg Gotha is Chief of the Saalfeld Branch of the Ernestine Line of the House of Saxony. In that Line the Electorate vested at the decease of Albert III. in 1422, and remained until John Frederick, the Magnanimous, was deprived of his dominions by the Emperor Charles V. who conferred them, with the dignity of Elector of Saxony, on Duke Maurice of Meissen, Representative of the Albertine branch, and direct Ancestor of the present King of Saxony.

Windham Press is committed to bringing the lost cultural heritage of ages past into the 21st century through high-quality reproductions of original, classic printed works at affordable prices.

This book has been carefully crafted to utilize the original images of antique books rather than error-prone OCR text. This also preserves the work of the original typesetters of these classics, unknown craftsmen who laid out the text, often by hand, of each and every page you will read. Their subtle art involving judgment and interaction with the text is in many ways superior and more human than the mechanical methods utilized today, and gave each book a unique, hand-crafted feel in its text that connected the reader organically to the art of bindery and book-making.

We think these benefits are worth the occasional imperfection resulting from the age of these books at the time of scanning, and their vintage feel provides a connection to the past that goes beyond the mere words of the text.
