Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from Contemporary Biography, References to Books and Magazine Articles on Prominent Men and Women of the Time, 1903 The following lists appeared first in the Monthly Bulletin of this Library, from May 1899 to November 1900. Many of the numbers in which they appeared being out of print, and the lists themselves out-of-date, they are now republished, having been revised and brought down to September 1, 1902, many new names being added to the original ones, and three entirely new lists made; namely, - Sculptors, Clergymen, Social reformers and others. No attempt has been made to compile complete bibliographies, but merely to include references to satisfactory material in this Library. The aim has been to select, from the mass of current biography and criticism, general articles giving as fully as possible information concerning each person´s private and public life, his work and personality. Each article has been examined for this purpose, and a note made to indicate its character. Articles that are fragmentary or unauthoritative or mere repetitions of the more commonly known facts; reviews of single books, except when general studies of an author´s style; treatises on a man´s work from a purely theoretical or scientific standpoint, have not been included. The general rule laid down for the selection of names was to include living persons and those who have died since 1890. There are some exceptions to this rule, e.g. Darwin, who was included because of his close association with Huxley, Spencer, and Tyndall, the biographies of the four giving a good survey of the scientific movement which they represent. Other exceptions are Tennyson and Browning, who were omitted on account of the abundant material concerning them, which is easily accessible. The general idea throughout has been to make the lists of the greatest possible use to this particular Library, and not to devote space to names to which a satisfactory number of references can easily be found in the general catalogue.
