Excerpt from The Modern British PlutarchThe limited space assigned to each biography compelled the Compiler to select only the most salient traits of character, and to dwell only on such events as had a public and historical impor tance. In describing the career of statesmen, he has been careful to abstain from any manifestation of political bias or party feeling, and has therefore avoided giving any Opinion on questions that yet remain within the arena of controversy. He has been more anxious to set forth facts as a narrator, than to set himself up as a dictator to the judg ment, or even a guide to Opinion.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
