Excerpt from Beacon Lights of History, Vol. 13: Great Writers; Dr. Lord's Uncompleted Plan, Supplemented With Essays by Emerson, Macaulay, Hedge, and Mercer Adam His being the last possible volume in the series of Beacon Lights of History from the pen of Dr. Lord, its readers will be interested to know that it con tains all the lectures that he had completed (although not all that he had projected) for his review Of certain Of the chief Men Of Letters. Lectures on other topics were found among his papers, but none that would perfectly fit into this scheme; and it was thought best not to at tempt any collection of his material which he himself had not deemed worthy or appropriate for use in this series, which embodies. The best of his life's work, - all of his books and his lectures that he wished to have preserved. For instance, The Old Roman World, enlarged in scope and rewritten, is included in the volumes on Old Pagan Civilizations, Ancient Achievements, and 3' Imperial Antiquity; much Of his Modern Europe reappears in Great Rulers, Modern European Statesmen, and European National Leaders, etc. The consideration of Great Writers was reserved by Dr. Lord for his final task, a task interrupted by death and left unfinished. In order to round out and complete this volume, recourse has been had to some other masters in literary art, whose productions are added to Dr. Lord's final writings.
