This work is something more than a book; it is your own complete library on every subject, written simply and accurately, and illustrated by a wealth of pictures in a way never before attempted. Here you hold the world in your hands.

It is a very intimate companion. You will make acquaintance of the famous folk of all countries and of all ages. Mighty conquerors and explorers, scientists and statesmen, inventors and thinkers, authors and artists, healers and poets, people its pages. The thrilling story of amazing triumphs of man over the giant forces of Nature is told in so attractive a way that it will appeal to every reader from nine to ninety.

This is a Day of Greater Things. Hitherto encyclopaedias have been dull, heavy, listless compilations. Attractiveness and interest were apparently regarded as deadly sins. We have endeavoured to let the golden sunshine and the good fresh air into our pages, believing that the true mission of the printed word is to present the amazing facts of this beautiful universe in a way entirely worthy of them.
