Abstract
This is a favorite tag applied by Spanish reviewers to Spanish anthologies. It best expresses the lack of inclusiveness of the following compilation. I am well aware that not all who are, are here; and well aware too that this collection is neither complete nor definitive, but only a suggestive compilation, a cage to gather together and pass in review those who are bringing to our State an intellectual advancement apace with its industrial development. It does little more than suggest openmindedly something of what readers may expect to find if they will but thumb even a very few of the outstanding names contained herein. It is only a chronicle—in nowise intended as a criticism.
