Présentation de l'éditeur
During the late years abroad, while reading the biographies of distinguished men who had been benefactors, the thought occurred that I had had a varied career, though not as fruitful or as deserving of re nown as these characters, and differing as to status and aim. Yet the portrayal might be of benefit tothose who, eager for ad vancement, are willing to be laborious students to attain worthy ends. I have aimed to give an added interest to the narrative by embellishing its pages with portraits of men who have gained dis tinction in various fields, who need only to be seen to present the career of those now living as worthy models, and the record of the dead, who left the world the better for having lived. To enjoy a life prominent and prolonged is a desire as natural as worthy, and there have been those who sought to extend its duration by nostrums and drinking-waters said to bestow the virtue of perpetual life. But if to live in hearts we leave behind is not to die, to be worthy of such memorial we must have done or said something that blessed the living or benefited coming generations.
