describing the different ways a "man" might be employed, including
owning a shop. Blue cloth with gold gilt on cover and spine. Head
and tail of spine are slightly worn. Corners are slightly rubbed.
Minor foxing. One of the earliest books about business. The preface
reflects the gender bias of the time: "Every father expects his boy
to be a success, and every mother expects her daughter to marry a
man who is a success."
