Wolf suspected that the time was not far distant when yonder monarch at the window, who had won so many victories, would have a reckoning with the Smalcalds, the allied Protestants of Germany, and his vivid imagination surrounded him with an almost mystical power.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
