THE WORLD’S LEADERS
A NEW SERIES OF BIOGRAPHIES
Edited by W. P. TRENT
The notable interest in biography has generally been met by two widely
different classes of publication--the biographical dictionaries, and
volumes devoted each to an individual. There seems room for a series
devoted to individuals in whose lives everybody is interested, and
systematically arranged.
This new series is to be called “The World’s Leaders.” It will
consist of large 12mo volumes, each containing from five to a dozen
biographies, classified by volumes according to the pursuits of the men
treated. It will include only those whose names are known to virtually
all reading people, and will be written by the most capable authors who
can be interested in the task. Pains will be taken to make the volumes
interesting and inspiring, no less than reliable and instructive.
The books are designed not so much to recount history, as to portray
the men who, in their respective departments, have made history. It is
intended that the contents shall be biographies rather than treatises
on the various fields of activity in which their subjects gained
eminence, or than expositions, criticisms or philosophies; and yet it
is realized that the best biography must contain something of each of
the others.
It is not intended to put the books on a plane that will make much
in them unattractive to any boy of fifteen who would care to read
biography.
Each, with portraits. Large 12mo. $1.75 net.
=H. W. Boynton’s The World’s Leading Poets.=--Homer, Virgil, Dante,
Shakespeare, Milton, Goethe.
=G. B. Rose’s The World’s Leading Painters.=--Leonardo da Vinci,
Raphael, Titian, Rubens, Velasquez, Rembrandt.
=W. L. Bevan’s The World’s Leading Conquerors.=--Alexander, Cæsar,
Charles the Great, The Ottoman Conquerors of Europe, Cortes and
Pizarro, Napoleon.

THE FRENCH REVOLUTION
A Short History. 12mo. 278 pp., with special bibliographies following

“An almost ideal book of its kind and within its scope ... a clear
idea of the development and of the really significant men of events
of that cardinal epoch in the history of France and Europe is
conveyed to readers, many of whom will have been bewildered by the
anecdotal fulness or the rhetorical romancing of Professor Johnston’s
most conspicuous predecessors.”--_Churchman._
“Deserves to take rank as a little classic and as such to be given a
place in all libraries. Not only is this admirably written, but it
singles out the persons and events best worth understanding, viewing
the great social upheaval from a long perspective.”--_San Francisco

THE HOME BOOK OF VERSE
_American and English_ (1580-1912)
Compiled by BURTON E. STEVENSON. Collects the best short poetry of
the English language--not only the poetry everybody says is good, but
also the verses that everybody reads. (3742 pages; India paper, 1
vol., 8vo, complete author, title and first line indices, $7.50 net;
carriage 40 cents extra.)
The most comprehensive and representative collection of American and

some 1,100 authors.
It brings together in one volume the best short poetry of the English
language from the time of Spencer, with especial attention to American
verse.
The copyright deadline has been passed, and some three hundred recent
authors are included, very few of whom appear in any other general
anthology, such as Lionel Johnson, Noyes, Housman, Mrs. Meynell, Yeats,
Dobson, Lang, Watson, Wilde, Francis Thompson, Gilder, Le Gallienne,
Van Dyke, Woodberry, Riley, etc., etc.
The poems as arranged by subject, and the classification is unusually
close and searching. Some of the most comprehensive sections are:
Children’s rhymes (300 pages); love poems (800 pages); nature poetry
(400 pages); humorous verse (500 pages); patriotic and historical poems
(600 pages); reflective and descriptive poetry (400 pages). No other
collection contains so many popular favorites and fugitive verses.

BERGSON’S CREATIVE EVOLUTION
_Translated from the French by Dr. Arthur Mitchell_
8th printing, $2.50 net, by mail $2.67.
“Bergson’s resources in the way of erudition are remarkable, and in
the way of expression they are simply phenomenal.... If anything can
make hard things easy to follow it is a style like Bergson’s. It
is a miracle and he a real magician. Open Bergson and new horizons
open on every page you read. It tells of reality itself instead of
reiterating what dusty-minded professors have written about what other
previous professors have thought. Nothing in Bergson is shopworn or at
second-hand.”--_William James._
“A distinctive and trenchant piece of dialectic.... Than its entrance
upon the field as a well-armed and militant philosophy there have been
not many more memorable occurences in the history of ideas.”--_Nation._
“To bring out in an adequate manner the effect which Bergson’s
philosophy has on those who are attracted by it let us try to imagine
what it would have been like to have lived when Kant produced his
‘Critique of Pure Reason.’”--_Hibbert Journal._
“_Creative Evolution_ is destined, I believe, to mark an epoch in the
history of modern thought. The work has its root in modern physical
science, but it blooms and bears fruit in the spirit to a degree
quite unprecedented.... Bergson is a new star in the intellectual
firmament of our day. He is a philosopher upon whom the spirits of both
literature and science have descended. In his great work he touches the
materialism of science to finer issues. Probably no other writer of our
time has possessed in the same measure the three gifts, the literary,
the scientific, and the philosophical. Bergson is a kind of chastened
and spiritualized Herbert Spencer.”--_John Burroughs in the Atlantic
Monthly._
