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 The Modern British Plutarch The limited space assigned to each biography compelled the Compiler to select only the most salient traits of character, and to dwell only on such events as had a public and historical impor tance. In describing the career of statesmen, he has been careful to abstain from any manifestation of political bias or party feeling, and has therefore avoided giving any Opinion on questions that yet remain within the arena of controversy. He has been more anxious to set forth facts as a narrator, than to set himself up as a dictator to the judg ment, or even a guide to Opinion.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Modern British Plutarch When the plan of this work was proposed to the Author by the Publishers, he felt that it was likely to supply a deficiency which he had himself experienced. Intelligent young persons hear names, "familiar as household words" to their parents, but of which they themselves know nothing; for we all have a habit of speaking of the events with which we were cotemporary, or nearly so, as if they had the same notoriety for the young that they have for the old. This was the case with a beloved and affectionate child, whose inquiring mind led him frequently to ask for some particulars about the eminent men whose names he heard in the course of casual conversation. He felt a deep interest in the progress of the work; but it pleased Providence to remove him to another and a better world, before the volume was completed. It is sometimes forgotten that the eminent men who have departed from the stage of life within our memory, though they cease not to be cotemporaries for us, have become historical personages for our children, and that they require to be informed of all that we remember. Impressed with these views, the Author was induced to select the biographies of such men in the past and passing generation, as appeared to have had most influence in moulding the opinions and shaping the destinies of the British people.
