Barnum, P: Dollars and Sense -

. .

Résumé :
Excerpt from Dollars and Sense: Or How to Get on the Whole Secret in a Nutshell

With a View of illustrating to a certain extent the rules laid down by Mr. Barnum, sketches Of the lives Of successful men are given. The history Of persons whose lives and experience have been worthy Of emulation always commands the interest Of mankind.

Life is so short that we are all compelled to avail ourselves Of the experience Of others if we would achieve the best results in the briefest time.

In perfect touch with these cheerful and encouraging chapters lies the money problem, its relation to human needs, to commerce, to art, and to civilization. From whence comes the dollar and whither it goes, is an ever interesting topic Of thought and speculation. In it is involved the science of banking, and the principles Of our nation's financial policy. More especially does this money question beat in harmony with the secret Of suc cess in life when shorn Of its technical mysteries and lifted into the broad sunlight Of the mind untrained in economic theories. Such is the happy tenor in which the subject has been here unfolded by the author Of the third part Of this work, and in those closing pages will the reader find much that 15 useful and instructive upon an expanding and ever important subject.
