THE HISTORY of the race is but that of the indi-
vidual 'writ large/ and we do not know the real his-
tory of any age or country until we know about its charac-
teristic men. Most of the men described are now active in
business and professional careers, but a few sketches have
been added of men whose achievements are still fresh in
memory.
Universal history, the history of what man has ac-
complished in this world, is at the bottom the history of
the great men who have worked here ; and there can be no
true criticism of a great American which is not founded
upon the knowledge of his work in daily life.
This work is thoroughly National, covering every
part of the United States, and puts in enduring form some-
thing of the history of great American merchants, manu-
facturers, builders and financiers and other great men who
have played an important part in the country's history.
This most admirable collection of contemporary
biography of America's foremost leaders of life and thought
will be an invaluable acquisition to the world's libraries and
historical archives.
These sketches of the leaders of life and thought now
at the helm of America's Ecclesiastical, Civil, Military, In-
dustrial and Commercial lines of human activity have been
selected with the greatest of care from current historical
ii PREFACE
works and publications and from various other sources.
As Builders and Merchants they have built cities
and illumined the marts of trade ; in the field of science and
medicine they have obtained great prominence ; in the arena
of statesmanship they have produced men of thought and
Justice they have shown erudition and wisdom. As clergy-
men, educators and lecturers they have occupied high
places; and as musicians, composers, artists, authors and
poets they have contributed profusely to social life.
This volume is submitted to the public in the con-
fidence that the careers herein described will be found
stimulating to patriotism; and a potent factor in cheering
and inspiring the efforts of rising generations.
