Description

Excerpt from A Child's Guide to Biography American-Men of Action I am hoping to see the rise, some day, of a new school Of biography, which will not hesitate to dis card the inessential, which will disdain to glorify its subject, whose first duty it will be to strip away the falsehoods of tradition and to show us the real man, not hiding his imperfections and yet giving them no more prominence than they really bore in his life; which will realize that to the man nothing was of importance except the growth of his spirit, and that to us nothing else concerning him is of any mo ment; which will show him to us illumined, as it were, from within, and which will count any other sort of life-history as vain and worthless. What we need is biography by X-ray, and not by tallow candle. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
