Synopsis

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

There are several motives which have actuated me in the preparation of the following sketch: among the first is to assist the book agents in their work, by giving them the experience of a successful book agent, one that has been successful in the business. To enable the young and inexperienced to avoid, as far as possible, the rocks and shoals upon which her bark made shipwreck, is one of the objects of this publication. The world is full enough of misery and sorrow caused by mans treachery and wrong; and if I can in any degree, however small, check this torrent, I shall feel myself abundantly repaid for all time and labor the effort may cost me. May this little volume lead some stray lamb back to the fold. That the present work contains many errors and inaccuracies of language, is undoubtedly true; but, of one thing the reader may be assured: the main incidents therein described are actually and literally true, and are freely given to the public for the reasons and motives above indicated. With all its faults and errors, and in the humble hope that it will be kindly received and tenderly judged, the work is submitted to a generous and discriminating public, by THE AUTHOR.
(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)
