least foresight, teaches you should do. Stop living from hand to mouth. Be independent of all kinds of charity, and stand like a man before the world. Take your choice: the responsibility rests with you.

No further trades or professions can be considered in this volume, whose narrowing space forbids their detailed discussion. They have not, however, been neglected, much less forgotten; and so far as possible principles have been adduced and illustrations given which are of general application. The lines of business treated may be regarded as types, selected on account of their importance and the large numbers of workers they include; while the manner of treatment may be considered as similarly applicable to other Vocations.

Nor must any one suppose that what is said under each head comprises all the principles applicable to it. Not every rule governing these important subjects is set forth and exemplified; but enough has been given to state and illustrate all the most important. Whether the positions advanced will prove advantageous or not, rests entirely with the reader. We have done our duty in each case, and must let consequences take care of themselves. The main proposition we urge is the high moral and political duty every man is under to secure for himself, for his family, for all who are dependent upon him, A MONETARY INDEPENDENCE

OF CHARITY.
