LEOPOLD Won RANkE,
Sketch of the Career of the Recently De
ceased German Historian.

Sketch of the Career of the Recently De-
ceased German Historian.
The late DR.. Leopold Won Ranke was
Germany's greatest historian. His life
was devoted to study, and his works
evidence vast research and mastery OF
materials. He had planned for the great
work of his life history of the world,
which was to be in nine volumes. but
had completed but six volumes at the
time of his death.
Leopold Won Ranke was born al
Wiehe, in Thuringia, on December 81,
1895, and completed his sixtieth year as
professor in the University of Berlin on
March 81, 1885. He began life as a
student, his position being that of tutor
at the college of Frankfort-on-the.
Oder. His first work was published
in 1924. Four years after he was sent
officially to examine the public archives
accessible to him in Vienna, Venice,
Florence and Rome, an occupation ex-
tending over four years. During this
period he obtained the materials for the
books which successfully appeared.
The book which first gave him Euro
pean reputation was entitled 1.-The
Popes of Rome" This great work APP.
peared in 1884. Lord Macaulay's re-
view of it in the Edinburgh Reviey is
masterpieces. 1t made Ranke's name
familiar to English and American
readers In 1S41 Won Ranke was ap-
pointed Royal Historiographer. 1t was
in 1868 that he was made president OF
the Historical Commission of Munich,
and at the same time entitled tn nraf1y
Won to his name.
Won Ranke married an Irish lady,
Miss Graves, a very superior woman,
but of retiring disposition, and who
never shared his literary work. He had
a son and two daughters.
He held command Of his surprising
power of mental concentration up to
within short time Of his death. Last
January the writer of fifty learned books
conversed with firmness, luency and
continuity, convincing his visitors that
he was as skilful with his tongue as with
his pen. Weather permitting, the vet
eran of more than ninety years old
walked two hours day in the open air,
and wrote or dictated eight hours of the
twenty-four. He lived among his books,
thirty thousand of which lined the walls
of his study.
He was great favorite with the En-
peror William, who presented him with
a full-sized portrait of himself on his
last birthday. On the mantel-piece OF
his study stood full-1ength photograph
of the Crown Prince in his Cuirassiet
uniform, also gift from the original
Springfield Republican.
