About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1889.

There never was a wiser saying than his who told us that for our faults of exuberance there might be all possible remedies; for our deficiencies--none. A nicer distinction between defects and deficiencies might further refine the illustration. Who are they who conquer nature, create kingdoms, discover truth, rule society, comfort anguish, and purify evil? It is truism to say: the men and women who have been themselves. Whom do we seek in some famine of the mind? Not him who conforms, who is fractional rather than integral. Or to whom do we turn when our hearts are breaking? Not to the smoothest, but to the strongest personality that is intelligible or available to our own. We all know men who are mental derricks, hoisting everybody within reach. We have all felt people who are moral cyclones, hurling everything out of their track. Yet force is no...
