Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Famous Givers and Their Gifts While it is interesting to see how men have built up fortunes, as a rule, through industry, saving, and great energy, it is even more interesting to see how those fortunes have been or may be used for the benefit of mankind. In a volume of this-size, of course, it is impossible to speak of but few out of many who have given generously of their wealth, both in this country and abroad. The book has been written with the hope that others may be incited to give through reading it, and may see the results of their giving in their lifetime. A sketch of George Peabody may be found in "Poor Boys who became Famous;" a sketch of Johns Hopkins in "How Success is Won."
