A Practical Book For Practical People Classic Reprint

Excerpt from A Practical Book for Practical People Never before in the history of our country have the plain, honest, practical people, the backbone of the nation, taken so much interest in the questions of the day. The true, earnest citizen is not content to be a mere echo for his party leader, but is thinking for himself and acting in a manner that often bewilders and alarms the professional politician. We believe that no other single volume presents an equal array of talent, such as distinguishes the well-known authors of the various subjects. The man of affairs will find the questions of the times handled by acknowledged masters. The business failures and riots fresh in our minds, show that these questions are not idle theories, but subjects demanding the careful thought and earnest attention of every true citizen. Our friend, the farmer, will recognize in his department old friends, whose names are synonymous with the highest expert knowledge of the subjects with which they deal.

Excerpt from Practical Life and the Study of Man The object of this work is neither to amaze nor amuse the reader, but to interest and instruct those who are seek ing improvement. There is very little in it, perhaps, that is new to every one, but the thoughts and reflections it. Embodies are brought forward in such novel connec tions, and they are presented in such unusual forms, that, even if the sentiments are found to be old, the application will doubtless appear to be new. The leading object of the writer is to do good to his fellow man, and if he fails. In his purpose, he will at least claim the credit of having done the best that he could It has not been his aim, this book, to appear either original or brilliant. It was. His design simply to bring to the notice of the reader, on the subjects which have been considered, the best thoughts that could be found in the language, and wherever he has discovered his ideas already in print, expressed in language better than he could write, or even as well, he has not deemed it either necessary or proper to write them anew, but has adopted the language of the author without change, believing as he does that we cannot make.

Excerpt from Practical or Ideal? There may come an occasional doubt, indeed, to the most practical man, as to the sufficiency of this view of life, and education, and politics. When a close student of biology shuts himself for months in the humble little laboratory that they show you in Paris, and comes out with a discovery that saves for France more than all her huge debt of war has cost her, men glorify the name of Pasteur and forget the long years of impractical education, and the infatuation of the student's ideal which led up to the great discovery. When the scientist sits pondering his problems and working out the abstrusest calculations in mathematics, he is a dreamer, but when his dream is realized in the harnessing of electricity, and men reckon by amperes, in terms of his own name, dreams are seen to be practical and vision is found to have substance, and the highest problems of abstruse science are seen to have as close relation to real life as the very bread we eat. Practical men may well ask, then, whether bread, necessary though it is, is any more than the sustenance of life, and whether life itself, for every man and in every pursuit.
