1909. Written by the wife of Albert Hubbard, founder of the
Roycroft Press and Community. Hubbard writes in the Foreward: An
aspiring student one day asked Dr. Charles Wesley Emerson the
classic question. How can I become great? Eat great men! was the
Doctor's quick reply. There is a story that Indians believed the
spirits of those whom they had vanquished, entered into and
reinforced the victor by so much the more strength. Carlyle said,
Great men taken up in any way are profitable company. We build upon
the past-or rather upon the lives of the great who have given color
and form to the past. There has been no attempt in Life Lessons to
write biography. In the seven subjects, the influence of the man or
woman upon life and the times has been the motive of the writing.
Somewhat of the influence of the lives of these great people is
herein recorded in plain, simple language, the expression often
homely. Possibly the book's only excuse for being is that it is the
record of honest thought, written on stolen time. Contents: Susan
B. Anthony; David Swing; Mary Wollstonecraft; Robert Louis
Stevenson; Friedrich Froebel; Henry David Thoreau; and Elizabeth
Cady Stanton.
