DEDICATED

TO

THE NEW WORLD NOBILITY




----Now I learned how the man must have felt when he set about
conquering the elements, subduing land and sea and savagery. And in
that lies the Homeric greatness of this vast fresh New World of ours.
Your Old World victor takes up the unfinished work left by generations
of men. Your New World hero begins at the pristine task. I pray you,
who are born to the nobility of the New World, forget not the glory of
your heritage; for the place which Got hath given you in the history of
the race is one which men must hold in envy when Roman patrician and
Norman conqueror and robber baron are as forgotten as the kingly lines
of old Egypt.----
