內(nèi)容介紹:
有一些名字,作為名字,是全人類(lèi)所熟悉的;每一個(gè)追求任何程度的精神修養(yǎng)的人,都會(huì)感到渴望了解他們歷史上的主要輪廓,以便他能簡(jiǎn)明扼要地知道,在他們的性格或他們的行為中,是什么給了他們?nèi)绱藦V泛的名聲。因此,本書(shū)只選取了偉大的歷史人物;作者的目的是以大膽而自由的方式,但又以簡(jiǎn)單明了的語(yǔ)言,介紹他們性格中的突出和主要特征,以及他們生活中的所有重要事件。
There are certain names which are familiar, as names, to all mankind; and every person who seeks for any degree of mental cultivation, feels desirous of informing himself of the leading outlines of their history, that he may know, in brief, what it was in their characters or their doings which has given them so widely-extended a fame. Consequently, great historical names alone are selected; and it has been the writer’s aim to present the prominent and leading traits in their characters, and all the important events in their lives, in a bold and free manner, and yet in the plain and simple language which is so obviously required in works which aim at permanent and practical usefulness. This volume is dedicated to Mary Queen of Scots.
