In history there are some events which stand out as eminently
notable, either from their importance, their intrinsic interest, or
the greatness of the men or women concerned in them. In this work a
number of these events have been gathered together and thrown into
the form of short narratives. The incidents have been drawn from
times and countries wide apart, the aim having been to give variety
rather than a finished view of any definite period--to present the
young reader with a series of historical pictures which, while
instructive in themselves, may induce a taste for further reading in
the same direction.
