Wealth And Worth: Or Which Makes The Man? (1842)

By Epes W. Sargent

Book Overview

Wealth And Worth: Or Which Makes The Man? is a book written by Epes Sargent and published in 1842. The book explores the question of whether wealth or character is more important in defining a person's worth. Sargent argues that character and morality are the true measures of a person's value, and that wealth should not be the sole focus of one's life. He uses examples from history and literature to illustrate his points, and also provides practical advice for readers on how to cultivate their own character and values. The book is a reflection on the values of American society in the mid-19th century, and continues to be relevant today as people grapple with questions of wealth, success, and personal fulfillment.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
