Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Hundred Thousand Dollars in Gold: How to Make It
The several examples we have cited are literal illustrations, and many more of a similarly interesting character, where prime success has attended honest and duteous effort in the right direction, might have been presented in confirmation of the theory we have aimed to elucidate.
It is believed, however, that the presentation of the numerous facts and suggestions embodied in this volume will oiler real encouragement to the poor young man who may have the disposition to emulate these exemplars, and who resolves in earnest seasonably to win his way against "the odds that wait 011 fortune," however forbidding and unpromising may be the circumstances and surroundings of his early years; since every man, however humble, is in a great measure the carver of his own pecuniary destiny, and all history bears testimony to the fact that "men may second Fortune, but they cannot thwart her - they may weave her web, but they cannot break it."
