"Great Men and Famous Women, Vol. 3" by Charles F. Horne is a historical compilation written in the late 19th century. This volume is part of a series presenting biographical sketches of over 200 prominent figures throughout history. The book likely focuses on detailing the lives and accomplishments of various influential men and women, providing readers with insights into their contributions to society and culture. The opening of the work sets the stage with an introduction to Moses, a central figure in religious history. The narrative delves into his portrayal across different faiths, reflecting on his role as a leader who led the Exodus and established foundational laws for the Hebrew people. Highlights include Moses’s upbringing in Egypt, the divine calling he received to rescue his people, and the transformative laws and socio-political structures he implemented that emphasized liberty, individual rights, and community responsibilities. The portrayal presents Moses not just as a religious figure, but also as a statesman with profound ideals that continue to resonate in contemporary discussions about justice and social order.
