Richard Wagner. Echte Briefe an Ferdinand Praeger Published by Grau'sche Buchhandlung, Bayreuth 1894. Richard Wagner's real letters to F. Praeger, with an introduction by Hans von Wolzogen. Part of this book was first published in the Bayreuther Blätter, see below. The second edition was renamed to Richard Wagner an Ferdinand Praeger. This book was a critique on another book, written by the Jewish-German musician and piano teacher F. Praeger, Wagner as I knew him, with the correspondence between him and Wagner, published by Longmans & Green, London 1892. According to Chamberlain, the letters were poorly translated, and gave an unfair impression of Wagner. After the publication of Chamberlain's version of the correspondence, publisher Breitkopf & Härtel felt obliged to take back and destroy the entire German edition (Wagner, wie ich ihn kannte, Leipzig 1892) of Praeger's book. Meaning that this book is Rare... George Ainslie Hight noted that „In England and America it still seems to be widely read, and is, more than any other single work, responsible for the false notions that are abroad about Wagner.“ Prof. Field wrote: „It is unclear why Praeger should have written so flawed a book. It did contain serious errors of fact and chronology, some of them, admittedly, arising out of problems of translation. Ernest Newman was puzzled by the whole affair and wondered whether “the author of it is not to be regarded as a diseased rather than a criminal type.“ Yet this distorted account of an unbalanced man who wanted to write himself into history was in many respects closer to the truth than the Wahnfried mythology — and this is what made it so dangerous“ (Evangelist of Race, p. 139). Contains: Vorwort von Hans von Wolzogen — Kritische Vorarbeit von Houston Stewart Chamberlain — Richard Wagner's echte Briefe an Ferdinand Praeger — Nachträge von Houston Stewart Chamberlain I & II — Brief Richard Wagner's an August Roeckel nach Prag. History: 1894: 1st edition, Richard Wagner. Echte Briefe an Ferdinand Praeger. 8º. IX and 124 pages, published by Grau'sche Buchhandlung. 1908: 2nd edition, Richard Wagner an Ferdinand Praeger. 8º. 188 pages, published by Schuster und Loeffler, Berlin and Leipzig.

 5.Recherches sur la sève ascendante Dissertation, published by Attinger frères, Neuchâtel, February 1897. 8º. VIII and 340 pages. Also published in the Bulletin du laboratoire de botanique générale de l'université de Genève, Vol. II, February 1897, directed by Marc Thury and John Briquet. H. S. Chamberlain's treatise on the ascending of plant saps, a mystery at that time. Although he didn't solve the problem, the work was nevertheless a major achievement. Botanist and natural philosopher Johannes Reinke admired this work and referred to Chamberlain as his teacher. Furthermore this work was quoted by botanists like Wilhelm Pfeffer and Eduard Strasburger. After reading this book, Dr. Julius Wiesner, professor of botany at the university of Vienna, and Chamberlain's former teacher plant physiology, wrote in a letter to his pupil, Nov. 24, 1896 (published in Lebenswege meines Denkens, p. 109), that it was a pity that he had decided to become a writer and didn't continue his researches. H. S. Chamberlain dedicated his book Die Grundlagen des 19. Jahrhunderts to Wiesner. The professor had a portrait of Chamberlain in his office, and the discussions he had with his student “were probably the most pleasant and exciting I have ever had in my life.“ (see Lebenswege, p. 117). The biologist Jakob von Uexküll wrote: “This is the proof that Chamberlain was a professional biologist: No one, who has read his work on the ascending of plant saps, will doubt the fact that this is an outstanding experimental piece of work.“ (Natur und Leben, p. 8). |

 8.Parsifal-Märchen Published by F. Bruckmann A.-G., Munich 1900. Translated into Swedish (Parsifalsagor, by H.

Two stories were translated into Spanish: El Regalo de Navidad de Parsifal, published by the Associació Wagneriana de Barcelona in „Regards sur Wagner“, No. 6, Nov. 2004, and La Oración de Parsifal, date and publisher unknown. Contains: Parsifal's Christbescherung, ein Weihnachtsmärchen — Parsifal's Gebet, ein Ostermärchen — Parsifal's Tod, ein Pfingstmärchen. In these stories, written in a contemplative mood, Parsifal dreams, prays, rethinks, and when the tale ends he has learned another lesson of life. In the first story, for instance, Parsifal learns to ignore his intellect and entrust himself to God's guidance. The tales were originally written for a forward child, Count Manfredi Gravina (1883—1932), son of the Italian Count Biagio Gravina and Blandine von Bülow (Cosima Liszt's daughter with conductor Hans von Bülow). They were first published separately in the Bayreuther Blätter in 1892, 1893 and 1894. A rare, luxury edition appeared in 1900.

 24.Politische Ideale Published by F. Bruckmann A.-G., Munich 1915. Translated into Swedish (Politiska Ideal, by Dagmar Sommarström, 8º, 123 pages, published by F. C. Askerbergs Bokförlags A.B., Uppsala 1916), and English (Political Ideals, translated with an introduction and notes by Dr. Alexander Jacob, published by National Vanguard Books, Hillsboro, West Virginia 1995). Houston Stewart Chamberlain's ideas for a future German state. He mentioned this book in his letter to Adolf Hitler, but it is unknown if Hitler understood the hint and has actually read it. He must have had time enough while in jail, and it might have been the subject of the letters — lost at the end of WW2 — he wrote to H. S. Chamberlain. Synopsis: All democracy will eventually lead to demagogy. Germany doesn't need French revolutionary ideals or Anglo-Saxon parliamentarism, and political power should be denied to all un-German elements. The Reichstag should be dissolved, for the people's representatives base their decisions on pre-defined party programs, instead of on the needs of the moment. Political decisions should be based on the advises of expert-committees, which are composed on grounds of proven merits. The monarch, no longer a puppet for ceremonial purposes, has the last word. The political ideals of the writer are eventually those of Immanuel Kant, „The greatest 'overthrower' of all times, the man, destined to show Germany the way to a new state“ (p. 95). It took the German censor a whole month to decide whether this could be published or not... See the page with reviews for comments of contemporaries on this book.

The war is a blessing in disguise, Germany is not just fighting for its right to exist, but also for the benefit of Christianity. History: 1915: 1st — 3rd edition. 8º. 26 pages. |
