Twelve editions by 1838 tells you what young America thought of Alcott's guide. The physician and reformer covers the formation of character, business habits, amusements, health, and the road to self-improvement for young men leaving home. One of the earliest and most influential American conduct manuals. Advice your great-great-grandfather actually took.
