To such a man, dear reader, it is my privilege to introduce you. When a man raises himself from the lowest condition in society to the highest, mankind pay him the tribute of their admiration when he accomplishes this elevation by native energy, guided by prudence and wisdom, their admiration is increased but when his course, onward and upward, excellent in itself, furthermore proves a possible, what had hitherto been regarded as an impossible, reform, then he becomes a burning and a shining light, on which the aged may look with gladness, the young with hope, and the down-trodden, as a representative of what they may themselves become.
