The subject of success is as old as the hills, but it is one of perennial interest; and the difficulty presented to the writer is not that of a lack of materials, but of the capacity to select from a mountain heap those facts and principles which are fundamental, together with the truths that directly express the spirit of the age. Contents: success, some attempts at a definition; is success increasingly difficult; luck, or no luck; handicap of limitation; what is your work; originality, the key; how some men have succeeded; questions and answers; practical counsels.
