EDITED BY 



EVELYN ABBOTT M.A., Fellow of Balliol College, Oxford. 



A Series of biograpliical studies of the lives and work 

 of a number of representative historical characters about 

 whom have gathered the great traditions of the Nations 

 to which they belonged, and who have been accepted, in 

 many instances, as types of the several National ideals. 

 With the life of each typical character will be presented 

 a picture of the National conditions surrounding him 

 during his career. 



The narratives are the work of writers who are recog- 

 nized authorities on their several subjects, and, while 

 thoroughly trustworthy as history, will present picturesque 

 and dramatic " stories " of the Men and of the events con- 

 nected with them. 



To the Life of each " Hero " will be given one duo- 

 decimo volume, handsomely printed in large type, pro- 

 vided with maps and adequately illustrated according to 

 the special requirements of the several subjects. The 

 volumes will be sold separately as follows :

 Large paper, limited to 250 numbered copies for
