Notes

1. Often during these years, Weber complained about his restless nights and he frequently suffered from the flu and had colds, all of which seriously impacted his ability to work and to travel.

2. Du Bois’ article appeared in the Archiv in 1906. Unfortunately, his book was not translated into German during Weber's lifetime and Weber never returned to the USA. Du Bois had studied in Berlin and Heidelberg from 1892 to 1894. His next trip to Germany did not occur until 1926. p. 481, notes 3 and 4.

3. Brentano never did write the review for Weber, and when he finally composed one it was in 1916. However, Brentano did have an exchange with Sombart in the journal Die Nation in 1905.

4. Weber eventually did take on the role of editor and the first volumes appeared in 1914 as part of the Grundriss der Sozialökonomik.
