Eight Pillars Of Prosperity

In his preface to this volume the author says that &quote;the moral virtues are the foundation and support of prosperity as they are the soul of greatness. They endure forever, and all the works of man which endure are built upon them. Without them there is neither strength, stability, nor substantial reality, but only epemeral dreams.'' And accordingly we find the &quote;eight pillars of prosperity&quote; treated of in this book to be-Energy, Economy, Integrity, System, Sympathy, Sincerity, Impartiality and Self-Reliance, upon which is built &quote;The Temple of Prosperity,&quote; and toeach of these virtues as a heading he devotes a chapter, each subdivided into &quote;elements,&quote; as Industry, Efficiency, Honesty, Accuracy, Insight, Simplicity, Justice, Wisdom, Decision, etc.
