Book excerpt: Excerpt from The United States Biographical Dictionary and Portrait Gallery of Eminent and Self-Made Men: With Illustrations on Steel The belief that-the work is needed is founded on the fact that the world worships success, and is glad to learn how it has been brought about. The truth of this is shown in the fact that if a man be poor, though he have the learning of a Blackstone, the genius of a Watt, or the patient perseverance of a Goodyear, yet, until he has achieved success, mankind has no interest in his history. His aspirations, his anxieties and his heart struggles, may have an interest for beings of higher intelligence, but for the mass of mankind these have no charms. But if by some cunning device, by some daring enterprise, or after long struggles and perseverance, he acquire a fortune, then the reluctant world is lavish in its admiration, his history is full of interest, and every one is anxious to know how he achieved success. To gratify this universal longing, it is proposed to give the history of the lives of six hundred successful men of Illinois. The Publishers found the second business principle on the fact that they are determined to spare neither labor nor expense in giving to the world the most authentic information how these men have won fortune, how the world has been benefited by their labors, and what has been the turning-point of their success. These examples are of great interest, may spread good seed, encourage the weary, give new life to the desponding, and energy to the aspiring. In the hearts of the young there are ever hopes and yearn ings; and. Although seldom expressed, and often not even acknowledged to themselves, they want only the inspiration of example to point the way, to accomplish a full fruition of their hopes. The Publishers believe they are engaged in a laudable enterprise, and trust to a discerning public for a liberal response. It is'l)ut just to mention that not one cent has been asked or received from the parties whose biographies have been given in this work; nor is it intended to pander to the vanity of the weak. Eulogy belongs to the dead, not to the living. A record of a man's life and works constitutes his biography; the praise of his virtues is more appropriate in an obituary. It is our object to seek out merit, and, by a simple narration of the origin, career, and achievements of individuals, show how the country has become great, and who are the men that have helped to do the work. To know how to achieve success is a laudable craving of the human heart, and to teach by example is the best mode of satisfying that craving.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The United States Biographical Dictionary and Portrait Gallery of Eminent and Self-Made Men: Minnesota Volume N publishing the Minnesota volume of the united states biographical dictionary, we confidently believe that it will be recognized and accepted as the best work of the kind which the press has produced. Our aim has been to furnish facts and reliable data, concerning the leading and prominent men throughout the state; and, in making our selection for this purpose, we have been governed by an earnest desire to present a galaxy of really representa tive men. That it contains the names of all whom it should, or that it is entirely errorless, we do not claim; for to produce such a work, is probably impossible. But that it is as nearly perfect and complete as indefatigable labor, and lavish expenditure of time and money can make it, we feel assured. Minnesota is comparatively a young state, yet is she unsurpassed in rapidity of development and growth, toward a prominence which commands the atten tion and admiration of all her sister states.

This book was released on 2017-07-16 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Biographical Dictionary of Eminent Men of Fife, of Past and Present Times, Natives of the County, or Connected With It by Property, Residence, Office, Marriage, or Otherwise To supply such a desideratum, the writer has put together the sketches referred to, in the form of a biographical dictionary. In following out the plan of the work, the writer has aimed at producing something more than a mere compilation. In addition to the lives of persons pre viously commemorated, among the contents will be found biographies of individuals hitherto overlooked. As well as of men of note, who have re cently died, and whose lives have been heretofore unwritten. But, besides Rhese, the author has introduced many sketches of contemporary biography, i.c., notices of living men of our own day. These have been written with brevity and caution, with a strict adherence to facts, and avoiding, as far as possible, matters of opinion; because, until the whole career of a man is finished, it is impossible fairly to estimate his life and character.

This book was released on 2015-09-27 with total page 622 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Biographical Dictionary of Eminent Scotsmen, Vol. 1 The first edition of the Biographical Dictionary of Eminent Scotsmen was edited by Mr. (now Dr.) Robert Chambers. It was issued in 4 vols. demy 8vo, and completed in 1834. In his preface the Editor says: - "A biographical dictionary of eminent natives of Scotland has been regarded as a desideratum in our national literature, for the greater part of a century. Such a work was successively contemplated by Sir David Dalrymple and Mr. William Smellie, each of whom proceeded so far with the design as to write a few of the articles. When the Editor of the present Work began a few years ago to inquire into the literary and historical antiquities of his country, he found the desire of possessing a dictionary of this kind not in the least abated, but very little hope entertained that, under the existing prospects of literature, it would be possible to present such a book to the public. He proceeded, nevertheless, perhaps rather under the influence of a peculiar enthusiasm, than any wiser or more considerate motive, to take upon himself a task which at least two of his predecessors had failed to accomplish, and for which he could not but feel himself to be in many respects imperfectly qualified. Sometime after beginning his labours, a fortunate alliance with his present publishers, who had projected a similar work, removed many of the original difficulties, and he was enabled to commence the publication in 1832. "In now taking a retrospective view of his labours, he sees, with some regret, passages which he could amend, and even one or two articles which, upon a more rigid estimate of merit he would be disposed to omit. He has much satisfaction, however, in reflecting that very few instances of error in point of feet have been indicated to him; so that he is enabled to hope that his Work, upon the whole, makes that near approach to correctness, which is the most valuable feature in a book of reference."
