Some Editors' Lists. 

 M. Jean Finot, the editor of Let licvui\ Paris, 

 writes : "As for Mr. Carnegie, his great men seem to 

 he those who aided in the creation of his fortune. All 

 those who make for the glory and iieauty of human 

 beings are lacking from his list. Here is my list, 

 which appears to embrace the whole of human life : -■ 



Homer, loth or ntli century B.C. 



Socrates, about 469 B.C. 



riato, 427 B.C. 



Aristotle, B.C. 384- 

 Jesus Christ.

Pasteur, 7822 — 7895. 



Edison, b. 1847. 

 Sir W. Robertson Nicoll, of the British Weekly, 

 sends the following brief criticism of the two lists : — ■ 

 " It appears to me that a man may do great things 

 w'ithout being in any way great himself. This applies 

 to some very clever and fortunate inventors. Mr. 

 Carnegie's list is mainly made up of successful in- 

 ventors, though he finds space for Shakespeare, Burns, 

 and Lincoln. I think it very strange that neither 

 Mr. Carnegie nor Mr. Harrison should mention 

 Plato. As a great man who did great things there 

 can be few comparable to Sir Walter Scott. We have 

 his Journals and we have his Novels. We know 

 what he did, and we know what he was." 



Mr. W. L. Courtney, the editor of the Fortnightly 

 Rcvieiv, sends the following list : —
