Synopsis
Excerpt from Makers of Man: A Study of Human Initiative
Of course, in dealing with so great a number of lives it has been impossible to give equal attention to each. On the other hand, without a sufficient number of examples, no general conclusions could safely have been attained. What is, in some cases, lacking in the way of precise knowledge of the details of personal conduct and private life, is more than compensated by the importance of recorded public achievements; while the fuller information available in the case of the more modern exemplars has enabled me to dispense with the lack of it, without serious detriment, in other cases. Quotations have in many instances been indicated by footnotes or, if only by the use of inverted commas, can readily be identified by reference to the list of authorities at the end of the book.
