Whoever shall read, and thoroughly understand, this grand work of a really great mind, will not hesitate to conclude that Dr. Randolph's promise has been fully redeemed herein.
Whenever a true genius makes his appearance in the world, all the donkeys are straightway in confederation against him, and the new truth it is his destiny to announce.
Mr. Randolph has had to experience the fate of all others of the world's great thinkers; but, unlike many of them, has not succumbed, beneath the storm of opposition. His extraordinary persistence of will has brought him to the front, where he rightfully belonged, — single-handed and alone! — until now, when his works — the circulation of which has been large, and bids fair to be enormous — have won for him a proud niche in the Pantheon of living authors, not one of whom has surpassed, and but few if any equalled him, in terse, brilliant, sound, and positively magnetic thought.
To-day the public gladly accepts his thought of fifteen years ago, which it then laughed at! The world moves, and its standards advance.
In this edition, the work has been enriched and enlarged to the extent of a hundred pages, and it confessedly stands to-day the fullest and most complete work on Love and its Hidden History in the language. It is indispensable to every woman in the land, because it, alone, of all other works on the subject, teaches her, not only the art of natural adornment, but directly points out to her the positive road to Power, and therefore is a guide-board on the path that leads to Perfect Happiness.
