Blind Man ' s Holiday , I say no more about the cause which first led me to write ; but to those who will take up this book without any previous knowledge of the circumstances under which the first was written , I perhaps ought to say that I have tried in writing to give shape to some of those impressions and ideas which led me , in days gone by , to adopt the career of a landscapepainter , and which was brought by blindness to a sudden close many years ago .

The Biographies , translations from the * Biographie Universelle ; ' the whole forming Eight Volumes quarto . The work will differ in several particulars from all previous works of the kind . In thd first place , the aim has been not to make a miscellaneous assemblage of eminent personages , but to select the limited number of one hundred , and to be certain that it should be not simply one hundred great men , but the one hundred greatest men of all time . Secondly , to get the best existing Portraits of each . In cases where the Portraits are fictitious , as that of Homer , the traditional one has been accepted . Thirdly , to bring out the work not in scattered Parts , but arranged so that each Volume should be complete in itself , covering an entire class , and forming a perfect history . Poetry , Art , Religion , Philosophy , History , Science , Politics , Industry , are the several titles of the Volumes , which will appear in strict order .
