 PREFACE 
 
 It has long been the belief of the editor that the work of 
 Conrad F. Meyer is well worthy of increased attention in 
 the American schools. So far as is known to the editor, 
 only one of his works has been made accessible in text-book 
 form. Der Schufi von der Kanzel has been selected because 
 of its interest to the student, due to its delightful humor and 
 historic background, and because of the healthy sentiment 
 that inspires it. 
 
 In the preparation of the vocabulary, it has been the aim 
 to combine completeness with conciseness. So an attempt 
 has been made to give not only the special definition of the 
 words as used in the text, but also the more usual or gen- 
 eral meaning, when the two are different. The notes are 
 intended to be suggestive as well as explanatory, and syno- 
 nyms are given whenever, in the opinion of the editor, 
 they will assist in increasing the vocabulary of the student. 
 The exercises are designed to give the student opportunity 
 to test his mastery of the words acquired in reading the 
 text. The spelling has been revised in accordance with 
 the latest (seventh) edition of Duden's Orthographisches 
 Wb'rterbuch. 
 
 V- The editor desires to acknowledge his gratitude to the 
 iproof-readers of the Athenaeum Press for the valuable sugges- 
 __tions made during the preparation of the work.

 INTRODUCTION 
 
 LIFE OF CONRAD FERDINAND MEYER 
 
 CONRAD FERDINAND MEYER was born in Zurich, October 
 11, 1825. After completing the elementary school work he 
 entered the Zurich gymnasium ; however, his relations with 
 teachers and fellow-pupils were not pleasant, so he was 
 sent, in 1843, to a private school in Lausanne, French 
 Switzerland, where he acquired complete control over the 
 French language, and also studied Italian. In Lausanne 
 his genius first manifested itself, and he wrote a number 
 of short poems, a few of which show gleams of literary 
 talent. 
 
 In 1844 he reluctantly returned to Zurich, and prepared 
 for entrance into the university of that city. He passed a 
 good examination, and entered the law school. This was 
 done without desire on his part, principally to please his 
 mother, and he soon withdrew from the lecture-room in 
 order to spend his time with a painter, under whom he did 
 some desultory work. He was troubled with doubts as to 
 whether he was best adapted for a painter or a poet, and 
 consequently did not apply himself seriously to the cultiva- 
 tion of either art. 
 
 Meyer early showed a disposition to withdraw from the 
 society of his friends and spend his time in solitude. He 
 read very much, principally history, and frequently made 
 long, lonely trips on the lake, staying on the water till late 
 in the night. This love of solitude gradually developed
 
 viii INTRODUCTION 
 
 into a state bordering on melancholia, and finally his con- 
 dition became so alarming that, in 1852, his mother brought 
 him to the Prefalgier asylum, to consult with the director, 
 Dr. Bovet. The latter expressed the opinion that, while 
 the mind of the young man was not diseased, he was in a 
 serious condition, and kept him under observation for some 
 months. In September of the same year he was apparently 
 restored to normal condition, and was dismissed from the 
 institution. 
 
 Still, a return to his native city was not advisable, so he 
 went back to Lausanne, the scene of his most pleasant school- 
 days. Here he made the acquaintance of a historian, Louis 
 Vulliemin, who proved to be the best friend whom Meyer 
 ever found. He realized that his young friend needed con- 
 tinued mental occupation, and obtained for him a temporary 
 position as teacher of history in a near-by school ; he also 
 induced him to translate various historical works from 
 French into German. These translations developed his 
 style, and also recalled his old dreams of a literary life. 
 
 In 1856 his mother died, leaving him and his only sister 
 a small legacy. Zurich had become unbearable to him, so 
 they decided to travel. First he spent a few months alone 
 in Paris, and then the two visited Munich, Rome, and Flor- 
 ence. After their Italian journey they returned to Switzer- 
 land. Not to Zurich, however, but to a quiet place on Lake 
 Geneva, where he produced several translations, which were 
 published without his name. 
 
 In 1860 Meyer, whose life had always been inactive and 
 almost non-productive, decided to turn over a new leaf. 
 Not only did he wish to make a name for himself as a 
 scholar and translator, but above all he desired to become 
 mentally independent. He returned to Lausanne, where he 
 read history, studied literature, and also busied himself 
 with the Pauline epistles. But his earlier studies had been
 
 INTRODUCTION ix 
 
 too irregular, his scientific training was inadequate, and he 
 accomplished nothing. He collected one hundred of his 
 best poems, and sent them to a publisher; fortunately for 
 him, they were rejected. In 1861 he returned to Zurich. 
 
 The rejection of his poems was a great disappointment, 
 but he did not let himself be discouraged. In 1864, when 
 he was thirty-nine years of age, he published his first vol- 
 ume of verse, under the title Zwanzig Balladen, von einem 
 Schweizer. In 1865 a literary journal printed a few of 
 his lyrics and epic poems. Aside from the fact that these 
 publications served to encourage the poet, they produced 
 no results. Another volume of verse, Romanzen und Bilder 
 (1869), shared the same fate. 
 
 The first publication that attracted general attention was 
 a series of short poems, Huttens letzte Taye (1871). His- 
 torical subjects were destined to be his most successful 
 ones, and now the vast amount of reading that he had done 
 in his youth proved of great value. In an incredibly short 
 time the man who had spent the greater part of his life 
 in apparent idling produced a large number of splendid 
 works, among which should be mentioned Das Amulet 
 (1873), Jiirg Jenatsch (1876), Der Schufi von der Kanzel 
 (1877), Der Heilige (1879), Das Leiden eines Knaben (1883), 
 Die Hochzeit des Monches (1883), Die Richterin (1885), 
 and Pescara (1887). 
 
 In January, 1880, the University of Zurich conferred on 
 the now famous author an honorary degree, thus giving 
 official recognition of the fact that he, in common with 
 such men as Gottfried Keller, had won for Switzerland 
 an honorable place in modern German literature. 
 
 In December, 1887, his health failed, and his marvelous 
 period of productivity came to an end. His illness became 
 worse, and it was only in November, 1888, that he felt him- 
 self cured. Then he wrote a number of short poems, and
 
 x INTRODUCTION 
 
 began several historical novels. But his strength was ex- 
 hausted, and none of them were completed. His old dis- 
 trust of his friends returned, his memory failed him, and in 
 July, 1892, he was brought to a sanitarium, where he died 
 November 28, 1898. 
 
 A man who has passed through such a period of develop- 
 ment as did Meyer could not possibly be a humorist. His 
 best novels show the struggles of a person who, perhaps 
 only in a moment of weakness, committed a crime against 
 society, and then spends the rest of his life in battling 
 against the relentless persecution of his sin. But, no mat- 
 ter how pure a life may be led after the deviation from the 
 path of rectitude, the punishment of his crime will sooner 
 or later overtake the offender. 
 
 There is no such thing as atonement for the sin which 
 Thomas Becket committed in his youth (der Heilige), or 
 for the murder of which Stemma is guilty (die Richterin}. 
 These novels testify to a belief in the relentlessness of 
 outraged justice that almost amounts to fatalism. In the 
 words of the aged harpist in Wilhelm Meister, 2tHe Sdjulb 
 rcid)t (id) auf Grben. 
 
 Notwithstanding this severity, the novelist was not with- 
 out a vein of humor, although he himself did not appreciate 
 its value. Like a ray of sunshine bursting through the 
 clouds, Der Schufi von der Kanzel relieves the overwhelming 
 seriousness of his other novels, and was enthusiastically 
 received by his friends. But he himself never expressed 
 any satisfaction at having written the story. While he was 
 at work on it he told a friend that he was writing "foolish 
 stuff, which really was not fitting for him." And to another 
 friend, who praised it in his presence, lie said : "If 1 had not 
 been bound by a promise, the farce would never have been 
 written. Comedy always leaves a bitter taste in my mouth, 
 while the tragic exalts and enraptures me" (Dec. 4, 1879).
 
 INTRODUCTION xi 
 
 So it happens that, though this his first attempt at 
 humor was a signal success, it was destined to be the only 
 one of its class in the writings of a man who, after a long 
 period of distressing indecision and non-productiveness, 
 was filled with an earnestness of purpose which was never 
 forgotten. 
 
 V 
 
 JOHANN KUDOLPH WEKDMULLER 
 
 The following facts concerning the most prominent char- 
 acter of Der Schufi von der Kanzel, taken principally from 
 an article in the Allgemeine deutsche Biographie (Leipzig, 
 1899), written by H. Zeller- Werdmuller, may be of interest. 
 
 In 1429 Otto Werdmtiller received a mill on the Sihl as 
 a fee under the nuns of Otenbach. This mill, which was 
 known as the " Werdmuhle," was burned in 1444 in an attack 
 on the city of Zurich, in which the owner is said to have 
 distinguished himself. The Werdmuller family was for a 
 long time prominent in Zurich ; several were members of the 
 Council of Two Hundred, and helped spread the Zwinglian 
 reformation. 
 
 Johann Rudolf Werdmuller, our hero, was born February 
 4, 1614. He lost his father when he was three years old, 
 and, together with his younger brother, was educated as 
 an aristocratic cavalier by his stepfather, Caspar Schmied. 
 They lived for some time in Geneva, and then went to 
 Lyons, France, where they studied the science of fortifica- 
 tion ; they also traveled through the greater part of France. 
 In 1632 Rudolf had his first experience in actual warfare ; 
 he served as a volunteer under General Schomberg, and 
 took part in the battle of Castelnaudry. 
 
 In 1633 he married, but left his wife in the same year 
 to volunteer in the Swedish army, and served under the 
 renowned General Horn until 1635. The next two years
 
 xii INTRODUCTION 
 
 were spent in service under his stepfather, in the army of 
 the Prince of Rohan, who was operating in the Veltlin ; 
 in 1638 he ranked as lieutenant-colonel. 
 
 After the death of the Prince of Eohan he left the army 
 and entered business. But civil life had no attractions for 
 him, and when his old Swedish general, Horn, was released 
 from prison, April, 1642, he suddenly left his family and 
 went to Sweden. He served with distinction in the Swedish 
 army, but in 1647 the council of Zurich ordered him to 
 return home, where his military talents were needed. From 
 1648 to 1651 he commanded a regiment of infantry sent by 
 Zurich and Bern to aid the Kepublic of Venice in the Dal- 
 matian campaign. 
 
 From 1651 to 1657 Werdmuller lived in Zurich, and 
 built a country-house on the peninsula Au in the Lake of 
 Zurich. In 1653 he helped suppress an insurrection of the 
 peasants, and two years later was made a member of the 
 lower branch of the city council. In 1656 he led an attack 
 on Rapperswyl, an incident in one of the numerous wars 
 between the Protestant and Catholic parties in Switzerland. 
 When he left Zurich at the head of his army, he boasted 
 that he would capture Rapperswyl within twenty-four 
 hours ; but the garrison consisted of well-trained Spanish 
 mercenaries, while the attacking force was made up of raw 
 militia; after a siege of five weeks, which was accompanied 
 by great loss of life, Werdmuller was compelled to retire. 
 The armor which he wore during this siege is still on exhi- 
 bition in Zurich. 
 
 His numerous enemies were not slow in taking advantage 
 of his failure. The Spanish-Catholic party threatened to 
 prosecute him; he was deprived of his seat in the council, 
 and also sentenced to retract his heterodox utterances. He 
 went to France in disgust, and volunteered under Marshal 
 Turenne. He won rapid promotion at first, but soon became
 
 INTRODUCTION xiii 
 
 involved in a dispute with the marshal, and was sent from 
 the field of active operations to take charge of an obscure 
 post. Dissatisfied with this, he reentered the Venetian 
 service, and fought against the Turks. 
 
 But he was anxious to avenge the insults heaped on him 
 by the French, especially by Turenne. So he secretly 
 joined the Catholic church, and entered the imperial, that 
 is the Austrian, service. In 1673 he was sent to assist in 
 a campaign against the French on the Rhine, in which the 
 imperial armies were threatened with disaster. Several 
 battles were fought, and in the cannonade at Sasbach, July 
 27, 1675, he had the satisfaction of killing Turenne. From 
 the Rhine campaign he returned to his native city, and it 
 is during this, his last residence in Zurich, that the events 
 told in our story are supposed to have occurred. 
 
 His last great feat of arms was the capture of Saar- 
 briicken, in the spring of 1677. He died suddenly while 
 he was in command of the Black Forest, Dec. 16, 1677. 
 He was a cultured gentleman, and even his enemies admitted 
 that he was an excellent officer, but he injured himself by 
 his gruff manners, which he could not suppress even in the 
 presence of his superiors.

 2 2 Jyuljithtft : the foehu is a warm, dry south or southeast wind 
 which blows along the northern slope of the Alps in winter, spring, 
 and autumn. It is generally preceded by a period of calm weather, 
 characterized by exceeding clearness of the air and a sharp, bright 
 luminosity. This soon yields to increasing haziness. At first the 
 wind, which usually continues for about two and a half days, is cold ; 
 then it gradually grows warmer, while the barometer falls. Its effect 
 is debilitating ; men and animals are made uncomfortable, and are 
 sometimes overcome by lassitude, while plants are withered. It is so 
 strong that ships do not venture out on the lakes while it is threaten- 
 ing, and in some of the more exposed towns the municipal ordinances 
 require that all fires be extinguished. Usually it is followed by heavy 
 rains. However, the foehn is beneficial as a "snow-eater," as it 
 removes the masses of snow more rapidly than the sun does, and thus 
 hastens the coming of spring. There is a less marked foehn from the 
 north on the southern slope of the Alps, and the chinook of the north- 
 western United States is of the same nature a winter wind blowing 
 across the mountains, and warmed into a snow-eater on the lee side 
 by coming down the slope to a region of higher barometer.

 " Not only the five republics of Uri. Schwytz, Appenzell, Glarus, and 
 Unterwalden hold their lands as undivided estates, and are governed 
 by their popular folkmotes, but in all other cantons too the village 
 communities remain in possession of a wide self-government, and 
 own large parts of the Federal territory. Two thirds of all the Alpine 
 meadows and two thirds of all the forests of Switzerland are until
 
 70 NOTES 
 
 now communal lands; and a considerable number of fields, orchards, 
 vineyards, peat-bogs, quarries, and so on, are owned in common. In 
 the Vaud, where all the householders continue to take part in the 
 deliberations of their elected communal councils, the communal 
 spirit is especially alive. Towards the end of the winter all the 
 young men of each village go to stay a few days in the woods, to fell 
 timber and to bring it down the steep slopes tobogganing-way, the 
 timber and the fuel-wood being divided among all households or sold 
 for their benefit. These excursions are real fetes of manly labor. On 
 the banks of Lake Leman part of the work required to keep up the 
 terraces of the vineyards is still done in common. . . . The commu- 
 nal forests in the Vaud and the Valais are admirably managed, in 
 conformity with the rules of modern forestry. . . . And when we 
 admire the Swiss chalet, the mountain road, the peasants 1 cattle, the 
 terraces of vineyards, or the school-house in Switzerland, we must 
 keep in mind that without the timber for the chalet being taken 
 from the communal woods and the stone from the communal quar- 
 ries, without the cows being kept on the communal meadows, and 
 the roads being made and the school-houses built by communal work, 
 there would be little to admire."

 (born 1596), a preacher in Veltlin, took part in the strife between the 
 Spanish Catholics and French Protestants in the Swiss canton Grau-

 ruler, after which the Protestants avenged their wrongs by exiling 
 Catholic leaders and confiscating their property. Eventually Jenatsch 
 turned Catholic and joined the Spanish party. He was murdered at 
 a banquet in 1639. There is a legend that he was killed with an ax 
 by his mistress, in order to prevent his enemies from wreaking ven*- 
 geance on him.
