Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Crittenden Commercial Arithmetic and Designed for the Merchants, Business Men, Academies, and Commercial Colleges
Success and advancement in any pursuit depend in a great measure upon the qualifications possessed when entering upon it, as the exactions of active life leave little opportunity to remedy deficiencies of preparation. He who would succeed must not wait until surrounded by the bustle, demands, and complications of actual busi ness, any more than the captain should defer obtaining a knowledge of navigation until his vessel is at sea, or the physician put off the study of medicine until called upon to prescribe. He should go prepared into the busy walks of life, ready to surmount every difficulty and to excel in every thing he undertakes.
