Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Treasury of Modern Biography: A Gallery of Literary Sketches of Eminent Men and Women of the Nineteenth Century The in uences running through modern life have tended much to throw the glance of man outward from himself towards other peoples and nationalities. [thought has become more complex and compre hensive as the materials of thought have increased. Science has her votaries, and everything in the earth and under the earth is being discussed and investigated. The fair face of nature is re ected in the poet's verse and in impassioned prose. Books and leading articles are being written, and lectures delivered, about every conceivable portion of the earth's surface, and every conceivable nationality. Africa, so long the dark continent, is emerging into the light of the knowable, and coming under the influence of mission-work and legitimate commerce. But in all his wanderings and investigations it is apparent that man meets with nothing of more supreme interest and paramount importance than his own life. The interest deepens when the life is expanded and unfolded in the midst of the complex civilisation of a complex modern life. Biography is the key to the private history of the individual, and next to the knowledge of God and of his own duty.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Great Men and Famous Women, Vol. 1: A Series of Pen and Pencil Sketches of the Lives of More Than 200 of the Most Prominent Personages in History When Nebuchadnezzar rested after his conquests, secure in the subjugation of his rivals, and in the possession of his vast kingdom, he gave himself up to the material improvement of Babylon and the surrounding country. The city as he left it, at the end Of his reign of forty-three years, was built on both sides Of the Euphrates, and covered a space of four hundred square miles, equal to five times the size of London. It was surrounded by a triple wall Of bri'ck the innermost, over three hundred feet high, and eighty-five feet broad at the top, with room for four chariots to drive abreast. The walls were pierced by one hundred gate-ways framed in brass and with brazen gates, and at the points Where the Euphrates entered and left the city the walls also turned and followed the course of the river, thus dividing the city into two fortified parts. These two districts were connected by a bridge Of stone piers, guarded by portcullises, and ferries also plied between the quays that lined the river-banks, to which access was given by gates in the walls.

But we can trace in it the sketch of an imaginary voyage to the northern regions of Europe, and it has some remarkable features of internal evidence, sup ported by the facts, and thus pointing to its genuineness. In latitudes not de scribed as separate we have reports of the solar day apparently contradictory. In one case there is hardly any night, so that the shepherd might earn double wages. In the other, cloud and darkness almost shut out the day. But we now know both of these statements to have a basis of solid truth on the Norwegian coast to the northward, at the different seasons of the midnight sun in summer, and of Christmas, when it is not easy to read at noon.

There are certain differences in the mythology which have been made a ground for supposing a separate authorship. But, in the first place, this would do nothing to explain them; in the second, they find their natural ex planation in observing that the scene of the wanderings is laid in other lands, be yond the circle of Achaian knowledge and tradition, and that Homer modifies his scheme to meet the ethnical variations as he gathered them from the trading navigators of Phoenicia, who alone could have supplied him with the information required for his purpose.

The three follow ing years he was employed in Italy and Savoy, and in 1642 made a campaign in Roussillon, under the eye of Louis XIII. In the spring of 1643 the king died; and in the autumn of the same year Turenne received from the queen mother and regent, Anne of Austria, a marshal's baton, the appropriate re ward of his long and brilliant services. Four years a captain, four a colonel, three Marechal de Camp, five lieutenant-general, he had served in all stations from the ranks upward, and distinguished himself in them not only by mili tary talent, but by strict honor and trustworthiness; rare virtues in those tur bulent times, when men were familiar with civil war, and the great nobility were too powerful to be peaceful subjects.
