Think and Grow Rich has been called the "Granddaddy of All Motivational Literature." It was the first book to boldly ask, "What makes a winner?" The man who asked and listened for the answer, Napoleon Hill, is now counted in the top ranks of the world's winners himself.The most famous of all teachers of success spent "a fortune and the better part of a lifetime of effort" to produce the "Law of Success" philosophy that forms the basis of his books and that is so powerfully summarized in this one.

First published in the year 1855; the present book 'Leaves of Grass' is a poetry collection by the American poet Walt Whitman. The poems of Leaves of Grass are loosely connected; with each representing Whitman's celebration of his philosophy of life and humanity. This book is notable for its discussion of delight in sensual pleasures during a time when such candid displays were considered immoral. Where much previous poetry; especially English; relied on symbolism; allegory; and meditation on the religious and spiritual; 'Leaves of Grass' exalted the body and the material world.

In this translation I have in the main followed the text of Conington and Nettleship. The more important deviations from this text are mentioned in the notes; but I have not thought it necessary to give a complete list of various readings; or to mention any change except where it might lead to misapprehension. Their notes have also been used by me throughout.

"I have been occupied with this story; during many working hours of two years. I must have been very ill employed; if I could not leave its merits and demerits as a whole; to express themselves on its being read as a whole. But; as it is not unreasonable to suppose that I may have held its threads with a more continuous attention than anyone else can have given them during its desultory publication; it is not unreasonable to ask that the weaving may be looked at in its completed state; and with the pattern finished." -Preface by the author
