From portals of the past.

“A lady with a lamp shall stand

In the great history of the land,

A noble type of good,

Heroic womanhood.”

Transcriber’s Notes

Punctuation, hyphenation, and spelling were made consistent when a predominant preference was found in the original book; otherwise they were not changed.

Simple typographical errors were corrected; unbalanced quotation marks were remedied when the change was obvious, and otherwise left unbalanced.
