Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Our World´s Great Benefactors: Short Biographies of the Men and Women Most Eminent in Philanthropy, Patriotism, Art, Literature, Discovery, Science, Invention To bring within the limits of a modest volume an abstract and brief chronicle of the world´s progress since the introduction of the art of printing, has been the controlling motive in the production of "Our Great Benefactors." While in no sense is it considered exhaustive of the subject, the privilege of selection has been used in as discriminative a manner as seemed needful to this general survey, and to the distinct purpose also of embodying within the several groups of eminent personages contributing to it such only as have an undisputed claim to be classed for all time among the benefactors of the race. This design has eliminated from the work all strictly military heroes or persons of merely local renown. The biographical articles are the joint production of many writers, who have aimed to tell briefly, clearly, and fairly what has been achieved for mankind by the individual benefactor, the scope or limitations of his mind or work, his habits of thought or training, or the specific causes leading up to the result accomplished.
