Excerpt from The Man of Business: Considered in His Various Relations
The following Essays have been written expressly for this work. They are intended to bear upon a very important class of the community - a class which in this country is constantly increasing. The walks of business become more ramified and extended, as the luxuries of civilization and the skill of human inventions become more multiplied and more widely displayed. Every description of commercial, mechanical, and executive business, excited and created by the new wants and new imaginations of advancing society, will call for the creation and extension of new agencies to accomplish the labors which they must demand. Thus the variety and number of business agencies of every kind must spread out in a constant increase. The earnestness of competition and the fertility of invention which characterize the walks of trade will also encroach more and more upon the previous comparative tranquillity of professional life. And men of all descriptions will, to a great degree, be transformed into business men. Their temptations, their principles of action, their rules of enterprise, their responsibilities, and their peculiar aspects of influence, will become, to a great degree, the common aspects of the community of which, in earlier times, they have formed only a part.
