Synopsis

Excerpt from The Life of a Book Agent

There are several motives which have actuated me in the preparation of the following sketch; among the first of which may be mentioned a sincere desire to serve the public, by warn ing them against the many errors I have committed. A calm, quiet rew of my life, discloses the fact that, in many instances, my conduct has been influenced by passion alone, and that the consequences flowing therefrom have, in every instance, proven to be the most painful. To enable the young and inexperienced to avoid, as far as possible, the rocks and shoals upon which my bark made shipwreck, is one of the objects of this publication.

Another object is, that the world may be informed, so far as is in my power, of the real character of those (many of whom are still living, and will read this work) who have so foully wronged and ill-treated me. I say this in no spirit of revenge that is a feeling which has long since died out in my bosom but because I regard it as a matter of duty, not only to myself, but to those with whom they may be hereafter brought in con tact. The world is full enough of misery and sorrow, caused by man's treachery and wrong; and if I can in any degree, how ever small, check this torrent, I shall feel myself abundantly re paid for all the time and labor the effort may cost me.

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.
