The first, ��The Way to Wealth,�� written by Benjamin Franklin, was much and justly admired. It presents advice to a young tradesman from an old one. The second, ��Fruits of Solitude in Reflections and Maxims Relating to the Conduct of Human Life,�� by William Penn, is a manual presented to the reader with the fruit of solitude, a school few to care to learn in, though none instruct us better.
