Summary "Little Journeys to the Homes of the Great - Volume 12" by Elbert Hubbard is a collection of biographical essays written in the early 20th century. This volume specifically explores the lives of significant scientists, beginning with Sir Isaac Newton. Hubbard offers insights into the personal and professional challenges these luminaries faced, celebrating their contributions to science while providing a narrative that reveals their humanity. The opening of the volume introduces us to Sir Isaac Newton, describing his humble beginnings as the son of a farmer and detailing the challenges faced by his mother after his father's death. As Newton grows up, the text covers his early education, significant relationships, and precocious intellect that eventually leads him to Trinity College. Notably, it highlights pivotal moments, such as his triumph over a school bully and his burgeoning passion for mathematics, setting the stage for his later groundbreaking discoveries. Overall, the opening portion illustrates Newton's early life and the formative experiences that shaped him into one of history's greatest scientists. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
