Book Description
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.
