PREFACE In this volume concerned mainly with writers whose names arehousehold words it has been thought sufficient to give only such particularsas were required to bring out the general effect. Neither biography norbibliography has been made prominent. The wish was to paint a general picturepreferring broad outlines to finished studies. Thus the student may be led toform conceptions for himself rather than take them readymade from the lips ofany historian..... Many of the earliest books particularly those dating backto the 1900s and before are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive.We are republishing these classic works in affordable high quality moderneditions using the original text and artwork. «
