Excerpt from The Discovery of the Building
welcomed as cordially as any, for I have tried to make a little plainer those problems on which I longed for light when my own mind was opening. Indeed, this thought has ruled the whole: I have tried to make just such a book as I wish now I had got into my hands fifteen years ago. Had it been so, immeasurably better would have been my start in life.
I count it a rare privilege to enjoy the friendship of James W. Lee, D.D., the keen-witted author of that suggestive book, The Making of a Mant and of Orison S. Marden, M.D., whose Pushing to the Front and succeeding volumes have put him in the forefront of our writers on character building; and here confess that no little part of the inspiration that has come to me to build this book has come from their works, which from such widely separated view-points look out on life.
Whenever I have quoted I have endeavored to give full credit. In those instances where this full credit is lacking it may be known that I have culled from some one who culled without crediting.
