Présentation de l'éditeur

This course was offered as an experiment in 1907-8 and again in 1908-9. The results tend to prove that the study of nationbuilding through the lives of the builders has a singular attraction and a rare value. The great man is no longer looked upon as an individual hero in the Carlylean sense. Genius may be hereditary, as Galton insists; but it is opportunity, environment, which sets it free. We are coming clearly to see that a man is not less a hero, not less a genius, because mainly he is a product of the forces which determine the whole social life-struggle of his age. There is the social hero. Perhaps in no more effective, certainly in no more interesting, way can one study social causation, the historical process, than through the evolution of personality. The secret of personality may be the secret of a national crisis. The revelation of the unique personality of A braham Lincoln is the explanation of his achievement as president. George Elliott Howard. Lincoln, June 15, 1909.
