Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Personal Ideals, or Man as He Is and May Become
The scope and purpose of this book are sufficiently indicated by the title as to render anything in the way of a lengthy preface unnecessary. I may, however, point out that my aim in writing it has been not so much to be didactic, as suggestive; and thereby to send the reader, whoever he may be, to the facts of life for enlightenment. Whether I have succeeded or no, the reader must decide for himself. But at least it is my hope that he will alight upon some thought here and there, however imperfectly it may be expressed, that will be the means of leading.
