PREPARER'S NOTE
The original book for this text was published as a volume in a
series "Heroes of the Nations," edited by Evelyn Abbot, M.H.,
Fellow of Balliol College, Oxford, and published by G.P. Putnam's Sons / The Knickerbocker Press in 1896.
The title material includes the note:
FACTA DUCIS VIVENT, OPEROSAQUE
GLORIA RERUM--OVID, IN LIVIAM, 265.
THE HERO'S DEEDS AND HARD-WON
FAME SHALL LIVE.
Margaret Oliphant wrote over a hundred novels and around thirty non-fiction books. Her labours made it possible for her two sons to be educated at Eton (they died before her); she also supported her nephew Frank. During her last years she worked on a history of the Blackwood publishing house which is a rich source of 19th-century literary gossip. She died in London 25 June 1897.
