Bøger af William F Howe

It may not be amiss to remark, in explanation of the startling and sensational title chosen for this production, that logic has not yet succeeded in framing a title-page which shall clearly indicate the nature of a book. The greatest adepts have frequently taken refuge in some fortuitous word, which has served their purpose better than the best results of their analysis. So it was in the present case.

"Danger! A True History of a Great City's Wiles and Temptations," written by Howe and Hummel, is a riveting and incisive look at the darker side of city life. This essay, published in the late nineteenth century, dives into the complexities of a bustling metropolis, giving light on the moral issues, legal complications, and human weaknesses that occur in such settings. Howe and Hummel look into a variety of narratives and stories that demonstrate the charm and perils of city living. They investigate the seductions and temptations that might lead people astray, whether through illegal activity, financial difficulties, or personal flaws. The book provides a detailed picture of how a great city's underbelly operates. "Danger!" reveals the urban living's manipulations, schemes, and legal complexity through fascinating storytelling and keen analysis. It looks into the techniques used by unscrupulous persons to exploit the unwary and highlights the difficulties experienced by those who navigate the city's perilous paths.
