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.

The famous men of ancient and modern times are the mountain peaks
of history. It is logical then that the study of history should
begin with the biographies of these men.
