Franklin's Way to Wealth and Penn's Maxims 1837

1837. This volume contains two essays. The first, "The Way to Wealth,” written by Benjamin Franklin, was much and justly admired. It presents advice to a young tradesman from an old one. The second, "Fruits of Solitude in Reflections and Maxims Relating to the Conduct of Human Life,” by William Penn, is a manual presented to the reader with the fruit of solitude, a school few to care to learn in, though none instruct us better. Some parts of it are the result of serious reflection; others, the flashings of lucid intervals; written for private satisfaction and published for a help to human conduct. Due to the age and scarcity of the original we reproduced, some pages may be spotty, faded or difficult to read.
