About this ebook

By following the development of the bestowment of aristocratic titles in Silesia and Bohemia the book reveals the efforts of Prussia and Habsburg Monarchy to reward and encourage certain types of behavior among their citizens on the one hand and suppress other types of behavior on the other.
