THE EXPRESSION OF A PERSONAL PLEASURE I cannot close this record of a boy's development without an attempt to suggest the sense of deep personal pleasure which I feel that the imprint on the title-page of this book should be that of the publishing house which, thirty-six years ago, I entered as stenographer.

It was there I received my start; it was there I laid the foundation of that future career then so hidden from me.

The happiest days of my young manhood were spent in the employ of this house; I there began friendships which have grown closer with each passing year.

And one of my deepest sources of satisfaction is, that during all the thirty-one years which have followed my resignation from the Scribner house, it has been my good fortune to hold the friendship, and, as I have been led to believe, the respect of my former employers.
