Excerpt from Balduin Mollhausen the German Cooper, Vol. 17 The purpose of this volume, like that of my monograph on F ried rich Armand Strubberg (americana Germanica, Vol. Is to pre sent a personality occupying a significant position in the history of the cultural relations of Germany and America. Balduin M611hausen was the last great exponent of that large mass of transatlantic Ger man fiction which followed upon the introduction of Cooper's works into Germany, and upon the great exodus of Germans to America during the first half of the nineteenth century. The material here ofi'ered was gathered during my residence in Germany as Harrison Research Fellow in Germanics at the Univer sity of Pennsylvania for the academic year 1911-12, but the force of circumstances has prevented an earlier publication of the same. I take this opportunity of expressing my appreciation of the gener osity of the University of Pennsylvania, and of the encouragement given me by my former teacher, Professor Marion D. Learned, of the same university. I desire especially to acknowledge here my great gratitude to Frau Carolina mollhausen, the widow of the novelist, for so kindly placing at my disposal the letters and manuscripts of her husband, and for rendering me constantly, in spite of her advanced age, her gracious assistance and encouragement. Sincere thanks are further due to Herr Leutnant Alexander Mollhausen, a son of the novelist, of Berlin, and to the members of his family; to Justizrat Hubert Krupp of Bonn; and to Herr Karl Vollrath, editor-ih-chief of the Berliner Volkszeitung, for the many courtesies which they have extended to me in the preparation of this work.
