E-text prepared by Brownfox and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team "Historic Boys: Their Endeavours, Their Achievements, and Their Times" by E. S. Brooks is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book presents the inspiring stories of notable young boys from various cultures and epochs who made significant impacts in history before reaching adulthood. The opening chapter introduces Marcus Annius Verus, who later becomes the famous Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius, depicting his childhood and early accomplishments, which embody ideals of bravery, duty, and Stoic philosophy. At the start of the narrative, we are transported to the 2nd century A.D. in Italy, where we meet Marcus, a boy of sixteen who is unexpectedly appointed as prefect of Rome while the magistrates are away. The chapter unfolds with Marcus engaging in playful antics with his friends, highlighting his boyish nature amidst the responsibilities he soon faces. As he navigates his role in the court, the young magistrate demonstrates keen judgment and a strong moral compass, particularly when he confronts a deceitful shepherd seeking justice for fictitious injustices. Through Marcus’ trials and principles, the reader gets a glimpse of a promising leader in the making, setting the tone for a series that celebrates young individuals who shaped their times through courage and virtue.
