Excerpt from Success and Its Conditions

The Essays in this volume were written at va rions periods during the past twenty-five years. In collecting them, the author finds that they more or less refer to the conditions of success, in the various departments of life; and he has ao cordingly given this title to the book. The lead ing idea is, that nothing really succeeds which is not based on reality; that sham, in a large sense, is never successful that in the life of the individ ual, as in the more comprehensive life of the state, pretension is nothing and power is everything. It is universally admitted that truth is mighty and will prevail. The writer has tried to illustrate a less familiar maxim, that truth is mighty and has prevailed. Abstract truth, entirely disconnected from human life and the substance of human char acter, is doubtless something for the realization of which we must look to the future relative truth.
