Julian B. Arnold, Traveler and Author
JULIAN B. ARNOLD, the son of the late Sir Edwin Arnold, the famous poet and savant, was born at Fram-field in Sussex, the estate of his grandfather, a country squire of the type from which Great Britain derives so notable a proportion of the strength of her race. Mr. Julian B. Arnold is now a citizen of the U. S. of A.
Educated at Marlborough College, and subsequently in France and Italy; Julian B. Arnold early attained note in those philosophical, racial and historical studies, which, vivified by his wide travels in the Orient and Occident, give to his Travelogues and Lectures their authority, brilliance and instructive force. A wanderer in the by–paths of many countries Mr. Arnold has an intimate acquaintance with the traditions, economics and ethics of four continents.
PRIVILEGED in opportunities, Mr. Arnold aided in the success of tha expedition of George Smith which excavated the ancient ruins of Assyria; he assisted in the organization of the expedition of Sir Henry M. Stanley which discovered the course of the Congo; and later was actively interested in the archaeological explorations of Egypt. During the Great War Mr. Arnold was engaged by the Illinois State Council of Defense to lecture in American cities, and, by his oratory and acquaintance with the far flung battle fronts, made real to many the sowing and harvests of the war.
His Addresses, Travelogues and Dramatic Sketches are noted for the wide-ness of his mental canvas yet accurate detail, and for the sympathetic colors he uses in picturing his varied subjects. By his earnestness, eloquence and knowledge he has moved numberless people to a far–visioned understanding of the complex problems of the day.
