Good-

This is a somewhat scarce Victorian edition of this work by the classic author who single-handedly defined the 'rages to riches' genre with its themes of hard work and free enterprise, that was particularly popular during the late 19th century. And reprinted well into the 20th, but later copies were printed on poor stock and are generally disintegrating today. Please see our catalog for other member sof this series.356 pages with pictorial paste-on of paper boy with city background and tall building.
