Excerpt from The Young Man and the World
The chapters of this volume were, originally, papers published in Tlie Saturday Evening Post of Philadelphia. The fii st paper on The Young Man and the World, which gives the title to the book, was written, at the request of the editor of that magazine, as an addition to a series of articles upon the Philippines and statesmen of contemporaneous eminence.
This paper called for another, and each in its turn called for the one that followed it. And so the series grew from day to day, largely out of the suggestions of its readers a sort of collaboration. A considerable correspondence resulted, and requests were made that the articles be collected in permanent form. This is the genesis of this book. I hope it will do some good.
While addressed more directly to young men, these papers were yet written for men on both sides the hill and on the crest thereof.
