Excerpt from Life of P. T. Barnum: Including His Golden Rules for Money-Making, Brought Up to 1888
That my narrative is interspersed with amusing incidents, and even the recital of some very practical jokes, is simply because my natural disposi tion impels me to look upon the brighter side of life, and I hope my humorous experiences will entertain my readers as much as they were enjoyed by myself. And if this record of trials and triumphs, struggles and successes, shall stimulate any to the exercise of that integrity, energy, industry, and courage in their callings, which will surely lead to happiness and prosperity, one main object I have in yielding to the solicitations of my friends and my publishers will have been accomplished.
