Excerpt from Moments of Genius These studies might be called the synthetic side of the work of which the Authors previous book, Human Documents, represents rather the analytical aspect. A great representative of some form of human faculty or accomplishment is taken at a critical moment of his career, the personality is vividly stamped as in a cameo, in the fore-part of the study; then, as in a vista, is shown the vision of his past, and (as following on the Moment of Genius) the adumbration of the future, all expressed in the feelings of the subject and the aspirations of his soul. The Author considers various forms of human greatness in turn, even the glory of physical perfection, choosing, for the sake of similarities or contrasts, two representatives of each.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from The Man of Genius This book was translated from the sixth edition of the German original by the late Professor George J. Tamson, lecturer in English at the University of Gottingen. The additions to the book in the seventh German edition, the explanation of Ibsen's "Ghosts" in Chapter XI and the whole of Chapter XII, were translated by Mrs. Elizabeth C. Deibel. The entire English version was then thoroughly revised by Mr. George F. Payn, reader to the Tauchnitz Edition in Leipzig, and editor of James's German-English dictionary, Professor F. Sefton Delmer, lecturer in English at the University of Berlin, and Mr. John A. Falconer of the English Seminary at the Hamburg Colonial Institute. In the following lectures it is the author's design to develop definite trains of thought as clearly as possible. This endeavour may be responsible for a certain amount of repetition by which means alone, however, it was possible to arrange the book so that each chapter should form a complete whole which may be read independently.
