R. Brimley Johnson (1867-1932) is the editor of this 1914 collection. A newspaper literary review falls somewhere between a literary criticism and a publisher's advertisement for the book. As early as the reign of King George reviews were beginning to be published. The fame of a particular review does not depend on its literary merit or the popularity of the book being reviewed. A scandalous review sells papers. Johnson has chosen to include in this collection reviews of books that will be familiar to the reader. Included are reviews by DeQuincey, Gladstone, Scott, and Kingsley.

I fifiARY PREFACE The study of history, like the study of a landscape, should begin with the most conspicuous features. Not until these have been fixed in memory will the lesser features fall into their appropriate places and assume their right proportions. In order to attract and hold the childs attention, each conspicuous feature of history presented to him should have an individual for its center. The child identifies himself with the personage presented. It is not Romulus or Hercules orG aesar or Alexander that the child has in mind when he reads, but himself, acting under the prescribed conditions. Prominent educators, appreciating these truths, have long recognized the value of biography as a preparation for the study of history and have given it an important place in their schools. The former practice in many elementary schools of beginning the detailed study of American history without any previous knowledge of general history limited the pupiF srange of vision, restricted his sympathies, and left him without material for comparisons. Moreover, it denied to him a knowledge of his inheritance from the Greek philosopher, the Roman lawgiver, the Teutonic lover of freedom. Hence the recommendation so strongly urged in the report of the Committee ofT en and emphasized, also, in the report of the Committee ofF ifteen that the study of Greek, Roman, and modernE uropean history in the form of biography should precede the study of detailed American history in our elementary schools.(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.Forgotten Books' Classic Reprint Series utilizes the latest technology to regenerate facsimiles of historically important writings.

It should be carefully noted that this little volume is the fourth and last in a series written for the express purpose of creating a deeper interest in the study of History, These four volumes are entitled respectively Famous Men of Greece; Famous Men of Rome; Famous Men of the Middle A ges; and Famous Men of Modern Times. The very titles of these books convey at once, both to the teacher and the pupil, tliat the method of teaching History here pursued is by approaching it through the realm of Biography; and it is not too much to say that, in this respect, the previous volumes have been eminently successful. There is something in life that makes its own personal appeal to life. The living man -be he soldier, sailor, statesman or hero forms a fixed and abiding center around which the pupil can gather the prominent events of the country to which the man belongs. The Conquest of Granada, without the presence and interest of Ferdinand and I sabella; the Discovery of A merica, without the life story of Christopher Columbus; the splendid achievements of Galileo and Newton, apart from the thrilling incidents in the lives of the men who made them; or the mere record of the winning of Italian Independence or of our own Civil War, without some knowledge of Garibaldi and Lincoln; these will not long endure in the mind of the average pupil.(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.Forgotten Books' Classic Reprint Series utilizes the latest technology to regenerate facsimiles of historically important writings.

My wish is that American citizens treat one another with dignity and respect. Understand that we can disagree without getting angry because someone does not agree with us. People are entitled to their opinions. We need to stop and think of our Constitution and Declaration of Independence and what they really mean. Some of us have never seen these documents.
