There has been a romance of commerce no less than a romance of war. Men have shown an equal enterprise and daring in the pursuit of wealth as in extending the bounds of empire, and gold has run close rivalry with glory in adding brilliant pages to the worlds history. It has been the aim of the author to make some attempt towards recalling the more interesting of these pages for the benefit of the young people to whom this little volume is especially addressed, but before beginning his recital he wishes to make due acknowledgment to Messrs Harper i Bros., and the publisher of the Cosmopolitan magazine of I ew York, for the privilege of reprinting those of the following chapters which first appeared in their periodicals.
