FOREWORD
For ages men have sought to perpetuate their memories in enduring monuments of brass and of stone. Yet, in their efforts to build lasting memorials they have neglected the most enduring monument of all—the Monument of Posterity. These farseeing ones have overlooked their real opportunity; for in posterity—in the achievements of their children’s children, men may best hope to reflect a lasting greatness.
