Excerpt from Leading Figures in European HistoryThere are many people who, while genuinely interested in history, have never, either from want of time or opportunity, read a consecutive history of Europe. They have a general idea of certain periods like the Renaissance, the Reformation, and the Revolution. With these epochs they connect the names of certain great men which are practically on everybody's lips: but, when they come to think about it, they find they have a very shadowy idea of their lives and characters.It was suggested to me that here lay a want which might be supplied by means of a book containing a series of biographies which more or less covered the whole of European history.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
