A nd empha heed teed eth tee al “England Expects Every HIS signal flung on the October breeze from the flagship of Admiral Lord Nelson will be re- membered as long as the language, or even the memory of England shall endure. Only a little over a century has elapsed since the Battle of Cape Traf- algar decided the fate of Napoleon on the seas, and England again calls on her sons to do their duty. From the boundaries of Christendom—from_ the shores of the Seven Seas—they answer with a shout of acclamation, and the thunder of British guns is heard from the Dardanelles to the North Sea. ea D Man To Do His Duty”’ wet is more interesting than to trace the growth of England’s naval power from its small beginnings in King Alfred’s time to that glorious August morning in the reign of “Good Queen Bess,” when the vaunted Invincible Armada of Philip of Spain was shattered into shapeless, smouldering hulks and made the sport of wind and wave? For over three centuries England has remained “Mistress of the Seas.” ARFARE at sea and on land may change, wooden walls give way to walls of steel, poisonous vapors—the assassin bomb—the stealthy torpedo from an unseen foe—may claim their innocent victims and thus add to war’s horrors—but above all man-made conditions there always arises in great national crises some superior -power, some dominating personality representing the concrete force of a great cause or era, who is the standard bearer before the nation. It is the story of the wonderful men and women who, for good or ill, moulded events and made the history of the day in which they lived that is sointerestingly told—as never told before—in FAMOUS CHARACTERS OF H The 20 volumes are Alexander the Great William the Conqueror Alfred the Great Mary Queen of Scots Cleopatra Hernando Cortez Josephine QueenElizabeth Henry IV Marie Antoinette Julius Caesar Peter the Great Hannibal Pyrrhus Nero Romulus Genghis Khan Darius theGreat Xerxes Cyrus the Great Our Inaugural Price Offer A Saving ABRAHAM LINCOLN SAID in a conversation with the author of these books: “IT want to thank you for your Series of listories.

Instead of a dry history of the world giving facts, dates and fgures, each volume is a complete life story—an enthralling romance, an entertaining novel in every sense except that it is true. ‘Instead of a history of the ancient world we have Cyrus, and Xerxes, and Darins and Hannibal with the an- Gent world around them. We see Caesar in the Senate, or surrounded by his legions, extending the boundaries of Rome to include all the known parts of the earth, as he gives to his ambitions the wings of fancy and the feet of accom- lished fact. We see the tide of Rome's destiny, and, there- lore, that of the world, turned aside because of the beauty of &woman—Cleopatra. In the modern world we sce the prac- tical genius of Peter the Great creating a great nation from the semi-barbarous tribes of eastern Europe. We see the mighty City of St. Petersburg rise from the marshes of the Neva at his command.
