It was one of Hubbard's axioms that nature's best use for genius is to make men think. He said, �������Perhaps I have attuned some lives to the harmony of living, but it's up to the individual to compose and play his on symphony.������� Any one out of tune will find in one of these hundred essays the note on which to compose his own symphony.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
