With some Remarks upon True and False Success, and the Art of making the Best Use of Life. Interspersed with Numerous Examples and Anecdotes. By W. H. DAVENPORT ADAMS, Author of “Plain Living and High Thinking,” etc. “Mr. Adams’s work is in some respects more practical than Mr. Smiles’s. He takes the illustrations more from the world of business and commerce, and their application is unmistakable.... There is much originality and power displayed in the manner in which he impresses his advice on his readers.”—_Aberdeen Journal._ “There is a healthy, honest ring in its advice, and a wise discrimination between true and false success.... Many a story of success and failure helps to point its moral.”—_Bradford Observer._ “The field which Mr. Adams traverses is so rich, extensive, and interesting, that his book is calculated to impart much sound moral philosophy of a kind and in a form that will be appreciated by a large number of readers.... The book is otherwise a mine of anecdote relating to men who have not only got on in the world, but whose names are illustrious as benefactors to their kind.”—_Dundee Advertiser._ WITH TWO COLOURED PLATES AND EIGHT PAGE ILLUSTRATIONS. Third edition, small crown 8vo., 400 pp., cloth, price 3s. 6d.; gilt edges, 4s.
