"Copyright, 1922, by Gamaliel Bradford."

"This group of portraits is the first of a series in which I hope to cover American history ... My intention is to include representative figures in all the varied lines of life, statesmen and men of action, writers, artists, preachers, scholars, professional men, and men prominent in the business world. Among the numerous difficulties of such an undertaking, not the least is that of entering into the special achievements of all these distinguished persons. To judge what they accomplished it would be necessary to be expert in their different pursuits. But I am concerned with their souls and deal with their work only as their souls are illustrated by it."--Preface.
