INTRODUCTORY NOTE TO "HEROES EVERY CHILD SHOULD KNOW"

The endeavour has been made in this volume to bring together theheroic men of different races, periods and types; and in theselection of material the most attractive, intelligent andauthoritative literature has been drawn upon. In cases in which thematerial selected belongs distinctively to the best literature, nochanges have been made, although narratives have been abbreviated;in cases in which the material has a historical rather than adistinctively literary quality, the text has been treated for"substance of doctrine," and omissions have been freely made, andconnecting words, phrases and even sentences have been introduced togive the narrative clear connection and completeness. In thepreparation of the material for the volume the intelligence andskill of Miss Kate Stephens have been so freely used that she isentitled to the fullest recognition as associate editor.
