Excerpt from The Money-Lender UnmaskedHE Money Lender is a being peculiar to himself. By force Of irony or circumstance, he is compelled to introduce himself to the public in an unusual garb.Unable to rely, for instance, upon a business which will strongly recommend itself, he cannot count on much support from the goodwill and introductions Of people who may be otherwise interested in his welfare.He adopts money lending as a means of livelihood, and is fully conscious of the fact that in order to secure quick returns and large profits, he must invoke the aid Of the public at large. But how can he impress himself upon, and secure the confidence Of those on whose support he is bound to rely, and from whom it will be his equal duty to extract the uttermost farthing?There is one satisfactory plan, and one only. He must enter the arena in the disguise of a philanthropist unburden his heavily-weighted soul to a long-suffering community convince them Of his anxiety to shower with an unsparing hand his benefits upon them, and indicate with precision the paths Of happiness, freedom, and fortune.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
