Zustand: Sehr gut. Zustand: Sehr gut | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | In the nineteenth century, William Alcott's The Young Man's Guide paved the way toward personal and financial success for thousands of men. Now, in this full reprint of Alcott's classic work, today's young man can use the keys to wisdom here presented to unlock their greatest potential and live a happy and prosperous life. From refining appearance and handling social interactions to managing finances and business matters, this book is packed with simple and practical-yet life-changing advice that will empower young men to redefine their future and fill it with love, joy, and abundance.The great purpose of the Young Man's Guide is the formation of such character in our young men as shall render them into worthy and useful and happy members of a great republic. To this end, the author enters largely into the means of improving the mind, the manners and the morals, as well as the proper management of business. Something is also said on amusements, bad habits, moral purity, and the importance of marriage. Unlike many self-help books, which cater to the weakness of humanity, Alcott's classic is filled with practical wisdom and helpful insights which, if followed, can radically alter a life. As timely and prudent today as when first written, it should be required reading for all young men. Middle-aged and older men will find this book valuable as well, as it's always worth the time to relearn manners and revisit expectations as a man in this world.…

On one such page there is evidence of what may have been original wrappers removed (page 41). In addition to the twelve "issues", there is a volume title leaf, advertisement leaf, and 2 leaves of the table of contents, all integral to the pagination. Cloth. In the "Prospective Remarks" (pg. 9-) note that the work was begun as an experiment, "entirely at the risk of the editor" and later "The experiment has now been carried on for two years; with how much or how little ability, it is for others to decide. It is sufficient perhaps for us to say that from a single subscriber, the number has increased to nearly two thousand ; and this, too, without special effort - we mean by the usual means of travelling agents." The content we might refer to as popular medicine, but often drawn from good sources. It also provides localized "news" of what is happening in the Boston area. The editor Alcott was well known and educated. "William Andrus Alcott (August 6, 1798 March 29, 1859), also known as William Alexander Alcott, was an American educator, educational reformer, physician, and author of 108 books. His works, which include a wide range of topics including educational reform, physical education, school house design, family life, and diet, are still widely cited today." (wikipedia).…
