[EAN: 9781332195473], Neubuch, [PU: Forgotten Books, United States], Language: English . Brand New Book ***** Print on Demand *****.Excerpt from Short Biographies of the Worthies of Worcestershire It was originally intended that short notices of Persons Eminent in Art, Literature, and Science should form part of the Victoria History of Worcestershire; but in its progress this splondid work attained such largo dimensions that the biographical section had to be eliminated, and the materials already collected have been used partly for this present volume. The Dictionary of National Biography has set up for all our eminent men and women a monument more durable than marble. The aim of this little book is to do the same on a small scale for Worcestershire; to satisfy the commemorative instinct of humanity, and to serve as a book of reference. The majority of the names are already dealt with at some length in the sixty-five volumes of the D.N.B., which should be found on the shelves of every Public Library. An asterisk prefixed to a name refers the reader to this wonderful work; and only such facts, chiefly local, are given here, as will make the outline complete in itself. Other sources of information to which we are largely indebted are J. Chambers Biography of Worcester (1820), W. R. Williams Members for Worcestershire (1897), Smith and Onslow s Diocesan History of Worcester (1883), the Victoria History, Nash s Worcestershire, T. C. Tuherville s Worcestershire in the 19th Century, Complete Peerage, by G.E.C., Berrow s Worcester Journal, Worcester Herald, Ac.

[EAN: 9781332195473], Neubuch, [PU: Forgotten Books, United States], Language: English. Brand new Book. Excerpt from Short Biographies of the Worthies of Worcestershire The work had been partly printed when the War began. It was then delayed for a time in the hope that Peace would soon be restored, and that a Roll of Honour of Worcestershire heroes could be appended. But the end is still uncertain, and our original Subscribers are passing away. So it seems necessary to send out the book even in these troublous times. The selection of names suitable for commemoration is by no means an easy one. The collective biographer, says Sir Sidney Lee, has to forswear the measuring rods of the fam-ily hearth, of the hospitable board, of journalistic advertisement. The fact that a man is a devoted husband and father, an efficient schoolmaster, an exemplary parish priest, gives him in itself no claim to biographic commemoration, because his actions, although meritorious, are practically indistinguishable from those of thousands of his fellows. Working on the principle laid down by this greatest living authority our aim has been to include only those whose personality, attain ments, or actions, have had something distinctly marking them out from the great mass of their fellow-men. Collective biography must also avoid rhetoric, emotion and sentiment; its aim is to comprise as much knowledge as possible in the smallest compass.
