The satisfaction ---- even love ---- of conflict inspired writers to chronicles which have lasted through the centuries. There was the wrestling bout between Odysseus and Ajax in which the winner was to receive 'a great tripod for standing on the fire, prized by the Achaians among them at twelve oxen's worth,' and loser's prize was a woman, 'skilled in manifold work, and they prized her at four oxen." ---- from the Foreword.

"I take pleasure in laying before my readers a volume the aim of which is to lighten the cares of to-day and heighten the hopes of to-morrow. Every human aspiration which is not an ignis fatuus or fool's beacon is built on the realities of to-day. Every young person evincing talents in any direction hears predictions which are alone built on what he is doing at present. He takes this hope and redoubles his efforts. He usually succeeds ----- therefore, the inherited universality of hope." ------ from the Preface. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Hardcover.
