Sinopsis
Excerpt from Makers of Man: A Study of Human Initiative
Of course, in dealing with so great a number of lives it has been impossible to give equal attention to each. On the other hand, without a sufficient number of examples, no general conclusions could safely have been attained. What is, in some cases, lacking in the way of precise knowledge of the details of personal conduct and private life, is more than compensated by the importance of recorded public achievements; while the fuller information available in the case of the more modern exemplars has enabled me to dispense with the lack of it, without serious detriment, in other cases. Quotations have in many instances been indicated by footnotes or, if only by the use of inverted commas, can readily be identified by reference to the list of authorities at the end of the book.

Excerpt from Makers of Man: A Study of Human Initiative
To C. and M.
If in this book the Great World findeth aught
Of high endeavour or enduring thought
Worthy the lustre of their deathless fames
Whose might and majesty its page acclaims;
If haply of their faculty divine
Stray gleams reflected here and there outshine,
Chance phrases of their spheral melody
On wings of reminiscence wander by,
Or glimpses of that Magic be revealed
Whose runes to ears and eyes profane are sealed;
If, greatly daring, I, by chance or art,
Have charmed some doors of Mystery apart,
Have probed one secret of the soul of Man
Unfathomed since its problem-play began,
Lit up one corner in the House of Truth,
Aroused from slumber one dream dowered youth,
Awakened in one breast the great surmise
Of Genius beckoning with syren eyes, -
Then to our love the Great World's thanks are due,
Since all that I have done - was done for you.
