Excerpt from Happy Homes and the Hearts That Make Them, or Thrifty People and Why They Thrive The marked interest which attaches to Mr. Smiles' productions is chiefly due to his happy use of biography. Readers who tire of extended biographical histories find here groups of the wise and distinguished of earth, each giving testimony to the various principles the author wishes to inculcate. This method of applying the accumulated experience and testimony of the past to illustrate and enforce principles, although by no means new, is certainly a most effective method of im pressing truth. The interest excited by the novel arises solely from our interest in the lives and struggles of men and women. They are interesting biographies. But much more interest should attach to lives actually lived and conquests actually made, provided they are produced with equal care. The home is the epitome of society and government. The application of these principles to every member of the home - the importance of their inculcation in the home where character is chiefly molded - and the value of such lessons in making every home what it may be and should be, has dictated the title, Happy Homes, and the Hearts that Make Them.

In Happy Homes and the Hearts That Make Them, Samuel Smiles promotes such old-fashioned virtues as honor, duty, honesty, and hard work. Old-fashioned, maybe, but needed more than ever in a modern world gone mad with corruption and superficiality. A must-have reference for families everywhere, Happy Homes is far more than a rosy look at days gone by. It is an inspiring compendium of practical wisdom that can make a real difference in the life of anyone who takes the time and care to put it into use. Newly designed and typeset by Waking Lion Press.
