Excerpt from Moments of Genius These studies might be called the synthetic side of the work of which the Authors previous book, Human Documents, represents rather the analytical aspect. A great representative of some form of human faculty or accomplishment is taken at a critical moment of his career, the personality is vividly stamped as in a cameo, in the fore-part of the study, then, as in a vista, is shown the vision of his past, and (as following on the Moment of Genius) the adumbration of the future, all expressed in the feelings of the subject and the aspirations of his soul. The Author considers various forms of human greatness in turn, even the glory of physical perfection, choosing, for the sake of similarities or contrasts, two representatives of each.
