Ah, if I only were! The very thought of it sets my imagination afire. That ’if’ is a key to dreamland. First I would want a thorough discipline, early begun and never relaxed, on the great truth of will force as the secret of character. I would want my teacher to put the weight of responsibility upon me; to make me think that I must furnish the materials and do the work of building my own character; to make me think that I am not a stick, or a stone, or a lump of putty, but a person. That what I am in the long run, is what I am to make myself.''This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
