Practicality is the sense of seeing things as they are and of doing things as they ought to be done. Specifically, it is defined as the science of being skilled in the application of means to attain particular ends, especially in dealing with the common affairs of life. The Author of this book defines Practicality appropriately as An inexhaustible wonder-working currency accepted everywhere. True Practicality is acquired through the exercise of good nature, patience, insight, and perspicacity, and by experience. It is the application of Tact to daily life; for tact captivates, fascinates, even anticipates, and by so doing lightens the burdens we have to bear and thus plays no unimportant part in the economy of life. In this work Practicality is presented as consisting of judgment, attention, perception, patience, perseverance, will, decision, finesse, and foresight. One may possess these qualities without knowing how to apply them in this book the Author shows the Reader just how to do so to his advantage.
