Fifty Famous People

One of the best things to be said of the stories in this volume is that, although they are not biographical, they are about real persons who actually lived and performed their parts in the great drama of the world's history. Some of these persons were more famous than others, yet all have left enduring "footprints on the sands of time" and their names will not cease to be remembered. In each of the stories there is a basis of truth and an ethical lesson which cannot fail to have a wholesome influence; and each possesses elements of interest which, it is believed, will go far towards proving the fallibility of the doctrine that children find delight only in tales of the imaginative and unreal. The fact that there are a few more than fifty famous people mentioned in the volume may be credited to the author's wish to give good measure.</div> <div jsname="WJz9Hc" style="display:none">其中最好的东西，可以说本卷的故事是这样的，他们虽然不是传记，他们对究竟是谁生活和工作在世界历史的伟大的戏剧表现及其零部件真正的人。有些人比其他人更出名，但都给我们留下了“关于时间的沙滩上的脚印”持久的，他们的名字不会停止被记住。在每个故事有真理，这不能不有一个健康的影响，道德教训的基础;每个拥有的利益因素当中，据信，将很好地证明了孩子们只有在想象力和虚幻的故事找到快乐主义的不可靠。有卷中的提到的几个五十余名人们的事实可能被记入作者的愿望给予很好的措施。</div> <div class="show-more-end">
