Excerpt from Famous American Men and Women There is an irresistible attraction in reading the lives of celebrated people which enchains the hearts of young and old alike. The study of individual character as represented by men and women whose names are graven on the imperishable tablets of Fame, is not only fascinating but instructive. Strange as it may seem we know less of living celebrities, who by thought and action are now molding the destiny of the nation, than we do of the immortal dead whose epitaphs are written in the sacred archives of history. This work is a record of noted Americans now living, and of the important events they have created. It contains the portraits of famous persons whose names are prominent in the annals of the times. Each portrait is reproduced from a recent photograph, and is accompanied by a biographical sketch obtained in nearly all cases by personal interview. The work is therefore of untold value as a text book of national character, an authentic account of modern progress and development, and the influence of master minds upon American history. Hon. Benjamin Harrison, Ex-President of the United States, has said: "If we would strengthen our country, we should cultivate a love for it in our hearts and in the hearts of our children and neighbors; and this love for civil institutions, for a land, for a flag, if they are worthy and great and have a glorious history, is widened and deepened by a fuller knowledge of them." Biography is not alone the history of individuals, it is the history of a Nation. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from One Hundred Famous Americans To present a series of brief and interesting sketches of some of the greatest men and women of America - to group them by the callings in which their most important work has been done, to describe the events of their lives; to tell what they have been to their companions, to their professions, and to the great interests of their nation and the world at large - setting forth from different standpoints their influence upon their own times and the future. The endeavor has been to tell the stories of these great lives fairly and truthfully, omitting for the most part all anecdotes and purely personal matters, while making clear the distinguishing traits of each individual, not only as an individual, but also as a successful follower of his or her vocation. In this way some idea has also been given, it is hoped, of the most notable achievements in the history of the various professions here represented. It is not claimed that this selection forms a perfect list of our greatest men and women: many names having been omitted that rank with those given; but even in the wide difference of Opinion existing upon the merits of fame, it is believed that the characters herein described will be found to be a fair representation of those who have had the strongest influence upon our history. The compiler has been much aided in mak ing the selection by the advice - most generously bestowed - of several authors.

Excerpt from English History in American School Text-Books One of my earliest recollections is that of being taken to see the fireworks which were set off at the pierhead in Ramsgate harbor to celebrate the declaration of peace after the Crimean War. From that time until I went, when quite a young man, into the Gallery of Battles in Versailles - a gallery in which the glories of the French armies are celebrated in acres of canvas by the famous French artist Detaille - I never fully realized that Englishmen had ever been defeated by land or sea. I had been brought up in the belief that one Englishman could beat three Johnny Crapauds. But here all my illusions on that score were shattered at one rude blow, for about one picture in. Every three represented a defeat of the English in either a naval or a military engagement. Then I made up my mind with Sir Robert Walpole, that I would study anything but history, for history must be false. Some such awakening has no doubt come to almost every thinking man or woman who has been brought up on the old methods of teaching the history of their country, whether they be English or American, French or German, Turk or Russian - this no doubt has its effect in inspiring a patriotic feeling; in keeping alive a belief in the invincibleness of one's own nation; a faith in its good star, which has led men on to further victories and inspired them to yet more valorous deeds than their forefathers have performed.
