Also found within are practical lessons on successful life by over fifty leading thinkers. This volume solves the problem of how to bring our hopes to fruition, and if it shall be the means of awakening aspirations for success along noble lines in the minds of the young men and women of our land; if it shall arouse greater zeal, or give new courage to any faltering traveler, or if it shall arrest any careless feet from going astray, then the great aim and purpose of the book and its writers will be accomplished, and the noble men and women whose portraits, principles, and careers are here set forth, will live anew in other lives, bringing such blessing to the individual and to the world. Illustrated with over 400 photo-engraved portraits.
