Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Henry Oscar Houghton: A Biographical Outline When the family of Mr. Houghton asked me to prepare a memorial of his life I gladly consented, for it was a grateful task to recall his vigorous personality. I did not fully perceive till I came to write my book how impossible it would be to make anything like an adequate Life: there were very few letters which I could use, for almost the whole of Mr. Houghton´s correspondence was of a business sort, and it was difficult to detach him from his business. I was bent on presenting him individually, yet some of his most notable achievements were accomplished through and with the hearty cooperation of his associates. I am sure they will not misunderstand the concentration of my attention on him. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
