Excerpt from The Perils of Pearl Street: Including a Taste of the Dangers of Wall Street

Or all the various professions, occupations, of em 'ployments of life, none perhaps afford greater vicissi~ 'tudes' than that of the merchant. None exhibit greater 'changcs of fortune; none lead through more trials and difficulties; none, expose their votaries to severer hazards of shipwreck, both m money and reputation. Today they are floating with gentle gales on the tide of' prosperity; to -morrow they are driven by' fierce winds on the rocks of adversity. To -day all is sun shine and hope; to -morrow all is Clouds and despon dency.
