Throne-Makers
Since 1789 every European people has been busy making a throne, or seat of government and authority, from which its ruler might preside.

To portray the personality of some of the conspicuous Throne-Makers of the century is the purpose of the following studies. I have wished to show just enough of the condition of the countries under review to enable the reader to understand what Bismarck, or Napoleon III, or Kossuth, or Garibaldi, achieved. I have been brief, and yet I trust that this method has afforded scope for exhibiting that influence of the individual on the multitude whichhowever our partial science may try to belittle itwas never more strikingly illustrated than by such careers as these in our own time. The group of Portraits which follow require no special introduction. In the Tintoret and Giordano Bruno I have brought together as compactly as possible, for the convenience of English readers, what little is known about these two men. Bertis work on Bruno, from which I have drawn largely, deserves a wider recognition than it has received outside of Italy; whoever reads it will regret that that eminent scholar was prevented from completing his volume on Brunos philosophy.
