Book Description
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Book Description
Excerpt from Heroines of History: Typical Heroines of Mythology, of Shakespeare, of the Bible The heroic element in woman's character receives more or less emphasis in all forms of literature and in every period of history. Wherever found it is one and the same vir tue. But it may be associated with very dissimilar mental qualities and very unlike ethical notions in different individuals, races, and ages. The historic heroine may differ widely in her moral and mental entirety from any heroine of poetry or romance - any crea tion of the imagination. The heroine of the Bible may not as a type correspond in the unity of her womanhood to the Greek heroine of mythology. But when we find the strong, splendid virtue of heroism in historical or fictitious, in real or ideal, in scriptural or mythological character, it is ever one and the same thing.
