Let us speak resignedly rather than with admiration of that light-heartednessibwbich can make a young man guard jealously a toy w rich is his own, and throw to the winds money which belongs to his parents, sisters or friends. Every Spendthrift has in him somewhat of the stuff of a criminal.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
