Reseña del editor:
TfiODUCTORY NOTES. BY BLIHU BUBBITT. The greatest wealth of any country or age is the immortal lives it produces for itself and the world. There are rich and proud empires that look upon such lives as their peculiar and most precious treasure. For instance, England, so proud of an empire ten times as large as Alexander sor Csosar s, would give up I ndia, with all its wealth of gold and pearl and precious stones, rather than alienate the koh-i-noor of Shakespeare sglory. She has a dozen other lives, some centuries old, which she would not sell out of her jewelry for such another dozen of the best colonies she wears around the neck of her empire. These and all her other colonies may be scattered ftrom her, like unstrung beads, but all the revolutions that smite down thrones and crowns, and sever or shatter kingdoms, can never rob her of the immortal wealth of the great lives she has begotten for the good of mankind. Such lives are to nations the immediate jewels of their souls, and they make one common lustre for the race. No lives can be immortal that do not shine beyond the boundaries of one nation. The brightest stars in the heavens differ in glory only in circumference of light. The lives of great men differ only in the same measurements.
