Thayer's writing style is engaging and informative, making this book a must-read for anyone looking for inspiration and guidance on how to achieve success.1858. A book for youth. How can the poor boy become the merchant prince? How can any boy attain success in any pursuit of life? It is the design of this volume to show how it may be done, by showing how it has been done. Its design is to show that success, in the case of every highly successful man, has arisen from certain principles adopted in youth and carried out in after life; and that the same elements of success are within the reach of every boy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
