Book Description
Excerpt from The Burnt Million, Vol. 1 of 2 His future, so far as he concerns himself with such a matter, is assured to him. If he has to live on his principal, which would, however, seem to him a very monstrous notion, much as the idea of living by theft would seem to the intelligent and doubtless honest reader, he could still live all the rest of his life in great prosperity, or, as he himself would have expressed it, like a fighting cock. It is indeed the vast amount Of money he has made, strange as it may seem, which troubles him. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
