Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Beacon Lights of History, Vol. 8: Nineteenth Century Writers; Also, the Life of John Lord
This being the last possible volume in the series of "Beacon Lights of History" from the pen of Dr. Lord, its readers will be interested to know that it contains all the lectures that he had completed (although not all that he had projected) for his review of the chief Men of Letters of the Nineteenth Century. Lectures on other topics were found among his papers, but none that would properly fit into this scheme; and it was thought best not to attempt any collection of material which he himself had not deemed worthy or appropriate for use in this series, which embodies the best of his life's work, -all of his books and his lectures that he wished to have preserved. For instance, "The Old Roman World," enlarged in scope and rewritten, is included in the volume on "Old Pagan Civilizations;" much of his "Modern Europe" reappears in "Great Warriors and Statesmen" and "Modern European Statesmen," etc.
