Excerpt from The Money Gods A shrug of his Shoulders completed the sentence, and rousing himself with' a Sigh from his vain imaginings, he turned to the papers before him and was about to begin work in earnest when he heard the patter of foot steps coming swiftly down the hallway toward his room, and at the sound shook his head in humorous despair. Young Marshall, he said to himself. No chance for writing now. And scarcely had the words passed his lips when the door flew violently open and Marshall Hamilton, Junior, a handsome boy of seven, burst explosively into the room, and without wasting time on preliminary greetings, hastened to announce the pur pose of his visit.

Excerpt from The Money God: Or the Empire and the Papacy, a Tale of the Third Century We believe it bad been difficult to have found a happier man than Furius Nomentanus Lupus at the moment we undertake to occupy ourselves with him. To judge of it, let the reader who wishes first cast with us a glance upon his splendid dwelling. By itself it formed what is called an island "insula," because entirely isolated from every neighboring habitation, and situated exactly in an enclosure, towards which converged several public ways. This house had been constructed a few years before the period of our story, in the new quarter, on the side that certain upstarts had begun to seek, that is, the ancient Field of Mars which was to advance gradually and help form the Rome of our day. Why, indeed, should not the mania of building, which generally seizes upon declining nations, make use of that vast space where the political and military life of the Roman people had ceased to exercise itself, and which the emperors, already for a number of years past, voluntarily exiled from Rome, no longer filled (except at rare intervals) with the solemn manifestation of warlike pomps?

Excerpt from The Money God: Chapters of Heresy and Dissent Concerning Business Methods and Mercenary Ideals in American Life And yet if the man, or the nation, is ever to live cleanly he must be told that sack is the main cause of his uncleanliness. As I conceive the evil of these American days, it lies in our ambition for mere wealth, for objective possessions, for material successes. This has passed of recent years into a greed of gain, and our American virtue of thrift, with which no one could quarrel, has turned into an American vice of avarice. It has made us the wealthiest nation in the world, and we pride ourselves on this success; but I have had the temerity in these pages to suggest that there are other and perhaps nobler successes than the accumulation of wealth, and that a man, or a nation, may be rich and yet signally fail of being a factor in human well being or human progress.
