Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Traits of Representative Men In the following pages I have attempted to sketch a few of the prominent "men of the time," of the men who have distinguished themselves as poets, orators, philosophers, financiers, soldiers, statesmen, etc. I have only space for a small group of these representatives of active life. There are many others equally worthy of notice. The reader will find that industry, integrity and economy have won station and honor for not a few who began their career at the foot of the ladder; that men of good capacity, character and energy have risen from obscurity to high and responsible trusts, and in the race of life have distanced multitudes who had the advantages of education, wealth and social position. This is not a book of biography, but of "pen and pencil pictures," and however inartistic they may be, the writer hopes the lesson they are intended to convey will be of some little service, especially to the young. We are looking for the "coming man." Has he come? Is he in our schools, in our workshops, in our warehouses, in public life? When I speak of the coming man, I refer to the average man of the near future, and not to some great genius who may rise in colossal strength, symmetrical and sun-crowned, the wonder and admiration of the age.
