'The art of biography has accustomed those who read to expect ... as the word implies, the portrayal of a life, of a process: the record of the growth and unfolding of a soul and character. This it is which interests the subjective temper of our days.... Our mind has learnt that its choicest food need not be sought from afar, but lies scattered with the wild flowers by the wayside, and that nothing is so extraordinary as the ordinary. Thus we have come to care less for a full inventory of the events which make up a man's life, or for the striking nature of those events in themselves, than for such a judicious selection and setting of them as shall best bring out and explain that individuality which is our main interest. We care less for what a man does and more for what he is; and it is mainly as a key to what he is that we study the circumstances which act upon him, and the conduct by which he reacts upon them.' A selection and setting to explain individuality: such is the aim, such is only very partially the achievement, of this book.

'Even as a broken mirror, which the glass In every fragment multiplies, and makes A thousand images of one that was, The same; and still the more, the more it breaks.'
