THE FOUNDATIONS OF THE NINETEENTH CENTURY -- VOLUMES 1 & 2 |
|
Introduction HOUSTON STEWART CHAMBERLAIN The first edition of the FOUNDATIONS OF THE NINETEENTH CENTURY was published in 1910. It was the first book written about the rise and fall of civilizations and the effect of race on the course of history. His book, written from a Christian viewpoint, was the foundation for the racial nationalist movement from that time to the present. Racial nationalists from all over Europe made it a point to visit and consult with him throughout his lifetime and many racial nationalist movements and publications were partly based on his FOUNDATIONS and other published manuscripts, which were published in German. His father-in-law was the famous composer, Richard Wagner, who gave him the inspiration to move forward with his important work. One of his most enthusiastic supporters was Kaiser Wilhelm, II who after reading the German language edition in 1901 wrote to him saying, "... And now the powerfully altered primevil Aryan-Germanic dormant deep within me began to slowly stir and painfully assert itself. Frequently in open conflict with the 'old established', it assumed bizarre forms, often remaining shapeless like vague intimations awakening in my subconscious and preparing to surface. And now you have come, and illuminating the dimly apprehended with a wave of your magic wand, you bring order into chaos, light into darkness, and goals to strive and work for. You show paths which must be followed for the glory of Germany and hence for that of everything German and particularly of our glorious language... Truly, we thank Him on high that He still means well for us Germans. That the Lord sent you to write your book for the German people and sent you to me personally; that is my firm belief. And now God's blessing and our Saviour's strength for the new year 1902 to you, my comrade in arms and ally in the struggle...The knowledge of fighting for a cause so righteous and divinely inspired carries its own certainty of victory! You with your pen, I with my tongue, will fight the good fight, come what may! I remain, despite all attacks and grumblings, your truly grateful friend, Wilhelm." In the early 70's a Jewish-run publishing corporation published an edition of FOUNDATIONS. However, like most of our so-called "free speech" publishing companies in America, the edition had an additional 100 pages "explaining" why the author's ideas were wrong and trying to fault his reasoning! In this book the reader will inevitably find material he will disagree with as well as material he will agree with. This book was written almost 100 years ago -- and even though some of the ideas in it may not be in accord with all its readers, it has been the basis in the past for helping to form a philosophy and basis for a plan of action for the survival of Christianity and White Civilization. Houston Stewart Chamberlain died in 1927. However, bits and pieces of his history of Civilization continue to be used by patriots of all countries. Here in this reprint of his FOUNDATIONS we are making his complete UNCENSORED work available once again. James K Warner 1988
