EDITED BY ANDREW LANG, M.A.
ESSRS. LONGMANS, GREEN, & CO. propose to publish a
Series of Short Lives of Englishmen of influence and distinction. They will be treated of not only as Soldiers, Sailors, Ecclesiastics of what not, but as men with strong personal characters, acting upon the tendencies of their age, and on the fortunes and dispositions of succeeding generations. Each Biography will be entrusted to a writer specially acquainted with the historical period in which his hero lived, and in special sympathy, as it were, with his subject.
