Excerpt from The Perils of Pearl Street: Including a Taste of the Dangers of Wall Street
Containing a slight survey of the ground.
Of all the various professions, occupations, or employments of life, none perhaps afford greater vicissitudes than that of the merchant. None exhibit greater changes of fortune; none lead through more trials an I difficulties; none expose their votaries to severer hazards of shipwreck, both in money and reputation. To-day they are floating with gentle gales on the tide of prosperity; to-morrow they are driven by fierce winds on the rocks of adversity. To-day all is sun shine and hope; to-morrow all is clouds and despondency.
The wheel of fortune is constantly moving; some are making, and some are breaking. The merchant knows little to-day of what he shall be on the morrow; and his drafts on futurity, in spite of present appearances, are very likely to be dishonored.
