""Industry and Idleness: With Causes of Dishonesty"" by Henry Ward Beecher is a book that explores the virtues of hard work and honesty, while also examining the root causes of dishonest behavior. The book is divided into two parts: the first part tells the story of two young men, one who works hard and becomes successful, and the other who is lazy and falls into a life of crime. The second part of the book delves into the various factors that can lead people to be dishonest, such as poverty, lack of education, and bad company. Beecher also offers six warnings to help readers avoid falling into the trap of dishonesty. Overall, ""Industry and Idleness"" is a thought-provoking and insightful read that offers practical advice for living an honest and productive life.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
