OTHER PEOPLE'S MONEY
By "A Trustee."
F'cap. 8vo. 2s. 6d. net.
"OTHER PEOPLE'S MONEY" is written for ordinary men and women who are not
content to be mere puppets in the hands of professional agents, but
desire to have some intelligent appreciation of their responsibilities
and of the principles which ought to govern their decisions.
The plain man will find that he can read "OTHER PEOPLE'S MONEY" from
beginning to end with understanding and enjoyment, for it is always
lucid, reasonable and humane. Its method is to proceed from the
exposition of principles to their logical application in practice so
that the reader learns not only what he ought to do or avoid doing, but
why that may be done and not this. The chapters on investments will be
found particularly helpful and often illuminating. Equally authoritative
and valuable are the author's observations on proving a will, on
distinctions between capital and income, on the payment of annuities, on
legacies to minors, on choosing executors and trustees, on the Public
Trustee and on other corporate trustees.
COMMON SENSE SELF-HELP
A STUDY IN THE ECONOMICS OF MIND POWER.
By Edmund Dane, LL.B.
F'cap. 8vo. 2s. 6d. net.
What is the secret of the clear and strong common sense, which inspires
confidence in the judgments of those who have it? That is the question
which the author has set himself to investigate and answer, and he has
revealed the mystery. The modern principles of Psychology, stripped of
technicality and difficulty, are lucidly summarised and the part played
by Feeling, Imagination and Will in the working of the mind as an
efficient machine set out as well as the part played by the Reasoning
Faculty. It is shown that Logic, as the Art of Reasoning, is properly an
application of Psychology as the Science of Mind Power. The uses of the
Art of Reasoning in Inductive and Deductive Inference and in the
formation of correct judgments are dealt with practically. A valuable
feature is the chapter on how to avoid and detect fallacies. This, in
short, is a book which everybody who desires to add to his mental
efficiency and success should carry in his pocket. It can be read and
re-read, since it contains a large amount of scientific marrow in a
small compass; it is the science of Mind Power and Mental Economics put
in a nutshell.
