Book Description

TO be fully a Man, thoroughly furnished in all manly attributes, complete in all points of manly character and action, - that is the highest condition we can conceive of or aspire to.

He includes in his being and his action all that makes the worth of the world, the nobleness of life, the qualities of the hero, saint, and Christian. If we might but attain to a completed manliness, there is no more left to be or do this side eternity.
