A Book of Golden Deeds by Charlotte M. Yonge is a collection of inspiring true stories of heroism and selflessness from throughout history. The book features tales of individuals who have demonstrated extraordinary courage, kindness, and compassion in the face of adversity. These stories include that of Grace Darling, who risked her life to save sailors from a shipwreck, and the selfless actions of Father Damien, who dedicated his life to helping those suffering from leprosy. The book also includes stories of lesser-known heroes, such as the young girl who saved her village from a devastating fire and the soldier who sacrificed his own life to save his comrades. Through these tales, Yonge encourages readers to strive for goodness and to make a positive impact on the world around them. The book is a timeless classic that has inspired generations of readers with its messages of hope and courage.Twenty thousand Persians had died before that handful of men! Xerxes asked Demaratus if there were many more at Sparta like these, and was told there were 8,000. It must have been with a somewhat failing heart that he invited his courtiers from the fleet to see what he had done to the men who dared to oppose him! and showed them the head and arm of Leonidas set up upon a cross; but he took care that all his own slain, except 1,000, should first be put out of sight. The body of the brave king was buried where he fell, as were those of the other dead.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
