Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Smeaton and Lighthouses: A Popular Biography, With an Historical Introduction and Sequel One of the most useful and pleasing forms under which knowledge can be presented to the general reader, is that of the biography of distinguished men who have contributed to the progress of that knowledge m some one or other of its various departments. But it too frequently happens that the biographical notices of great men consist rather of personal, trivial, and unimportant details, than of a clear and broad outline of the influence which they exerted upon the pursuit and upon the age in which they were distinguished. The true object of biography is, in tracing the progress of an individual, to show clearly what result his active life has produced on the well-being of his fellow-men, and also what is the position which he occupies as one of the ´great land-marks in the map of human nature.´ About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
