Excerpt from Difficulties: An Attempt to Help
I am not so presumptuous as to suppose for a moment that my limited intelligence is capable of dealing with so vast a subject as a young man's life. It would require several men of genius to do this, and then, unless they were walking Encyclopedias, they would fall short of the mark. My little chats to youth are only designed to draw its attention to the everyday Stumbling-blocks that beset the path of the embryo Man of the World. I have written this book with no thought of financial gain, but simply in the hope that a word of warning may perhaps be the means of helping the thoughtless and preventing the reckless, who, while shunning a small-pox ward, knock about indiscriminately with women, and em bark, unarmed, on adventures in Life's jungle, which alas! Is inhabited by every form of human tiger.
