Excerpt from A Book of Golden Deeds of All Times and All Lands There is a cloud of doubt resting on a few of the tales, which it may be honest to mention, though they were far too beautiful not to tell. These are the details of the Gallic occupation of Rome, the Legend of St. Genevieve, the Letter of Gertrude von der Wart, the stories of the Keys of Calais, of the Dragon of Rhodes, and we fear we must add, both Nelson's plan of the battle of the Nile, and likewise the exact form of the heroism of young Casabianca, of which no two accounts agree. But it was not possible to give up such stories as these, and the thread of truth there must be in them has developed into such a beautiful tissue, that even if unsubstantial when tested, it is surely delight ful to contemplate.

Excerpt from A Book of Golden Deeds of All Times and All Lands, Vol. 1 The poorest stratum may contain vestiges of gold, the meanest stream may have, lurking in its depths, grains of gold dust or even nuggets of pure gold. By analogy, therefore, we apply the term golden to that quality which stands, like gold in the measurement Of material things, as a standard of moral excellence its name is love, to use the word in its widest sense. Golden deeds, like gold itself, may be found anywhere, in any country, race, or age they belong to women as well as men, to little children as well as to their elders, to the bodily feeble and infirm as well as to the stalwart and strong.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
