Friendship the Master-Passion: Or, the Nature and History of Friendship, and Its Place As a Force in the World (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Friendship the Master-Passion: Or, the Nature and History of Friendship, and Its Place as a Force in the World

This volume must speak for itself, of the measure of thoroughness with which its subjeft is treated, and with which the fields that it calls attention to have been searched; yet I may say that its pages represent the work of years, and that in its gradual preparation I have had the invaluable help of friends, who were illustrating its theme while gathering material for its enriching. My hope is that what is here said and shown will quicken the interest of others in the lofty ideal thus presented, and will inspire them to fresh endeavors toward its realizing.
