Book excerpt: Letters and More Letters from a Self-Made Merchant to His Son presents George Horace Lorimer's famous Letters from a Self-Made Merchant to His Son and its lesser known but equally brilliant sequel, More Letters from a Self-Made Merchant to His Son. With his unique dry wit, Lorimer lampoons the attitudes of the newly moneyed classes of the Gilded Age - characters straight out of The Great Gatsby - in a series of fictional exchanges between John 'Old Gorgon' Graham, a prosperous pork-packer in Chicago, and his son, Pierrepont, whom he 'affectionately' calls 'Piggy.' The letters of Book 1 (Letters from a Self-Made Merchant to His Son) are from a father to a son in college (Harvard) but in the sequel (More Letters from a Self-Made Merchant to His Son) Pierrepont has graduated and is writing to his old man to see if there is any work for him in the family business.

Some men learn the value of money by not having any and starting out to pry a few dollars loose from the odd millions that are lying around; and some learn it by having fifty thousand or so left to them and starting out to spend it as if it were fifty thousand a year. Some men learn the value of truth by having to do business with liars; and some by going to Sunday School. Some men learn the cussedness of whiskey by having a drunken father; and some by having a good mother.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Letters From a Son to His Self-Made Father: Being the Replies to Letters From a Self-Made Merchant to His Son Dear Father: I know you will accuse me of lack of the business promptness which is the red label on your brand of success, but I really couldn't answer your letter before. I have been trying to reconcile your maxims of life with the real thing, and I had to get busy and keep so. Reconciliation has not yet come, leastwise not so as you would notice it. I'm glad Ma got back safe to the stockyards, for when she left Cambridge that morning she didn't quite feel as if she would. I thought she had too large a roll to be travelling around the country with, and convinced her that she ought to leave all but $8 and her return ticket with me. Its a great thing to have a good mother. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

What we're really sending you to Harvard for is to get a little of the education that's so good and plenty there. When it's passed around you don't want to be bashful, but reach right out and take a big helping every time, for I want you to get your share. You'll find that education's about the only thing lying around loose in this world, and that it's about the only thing a fellow can have as much of as he's willing to haul away.
