Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: VIR-WAT
VON HOLST, HERMANN EDUARD (18411904) , German-American historian, was born at Fellin in the province of
Livonia
 , on the 19th of June 1841. He was educated at the universities of Dorpat and
Heidelberg
 , receiving his
doctor
 's degree from the latter in 1865. He emigrated to America in 1867, remaining there until 1872. He was professor of history in the newly reorganized university of Strassburg from 1872 to 1874, and at Freiburg in Baden from 1874 to 1892, and for ten years he was a member of the Baden Herrenhaus, and vice-president for four. He revisited the United States in 187879 and in 1884, and in 1892 he became head of the department of history at the university of Chicago. Retiring on account of ill-
health
  in 1900, he returned to Germany and died at Freiburg on the 20th of January 1904. Both through his books and through his lectures at the university of Chicago, Von Hoist exerted a powerful influence in encouraging American students to follow more closely the German methods of historical research. His
principal
 
work
  is his Constitutional and Political History of the United States (German ed., 5 vols., 187391; English trans. by Lalor and Mason, 8 vols., 187792), which covers the period from 1783 to 1861, though more than half of it is devoted to the decade 185060; it is written from a strongly
anti
 -slavery point of view. Among his other writings are The Constitutional Law of the United States of America (German ed., 1885; English trans., 1887); John C. Calhoun (1882), in the American Statesmen
Series
 ; John Brawn (1888), and The French Revolution Tested by Mirabeau's Career (1894).
See the Political Science Quarterly, v. 67778; the Nation, lxxviii. 6567.
