In the following pages the story of Kitchener's life and work is accompanied by historical notes, to assist the young reader in realizing the importance of this great man's services, not only to the Empire, but to the cause of civilization. Stories are told, which afford glimpses of his impressive and fascinating personality, and extracts are given from his writings and speeches that reveal his high sense of duty, his aspirations and principles, and his strong determination to overcome all obstacles in carry ing out whatever task was set before him. Like Wellington, Nelson, Gordon, and Roberts, Kitchener possessed the quality called personal magnetism, which attracted his fellow-country men during his lifetime, and will ever remain in the story of his career and in that of the Empire he served so oally and well.
