Sinopsis
Excerpt from Difficulties: An Attempt to Help
I am not so presumptuous as to suppose for a moment that my limited intelligence is capable of dealing with so vast a subject as a young man's life. It would require several men of genius to do this, and then, unless they were walking Encyclopedias, they would fall short of the mark. My little chats to youth are only designed to draw its attention to the everyday Stumbling-blocks that beset the path of the embryo Man of the World. I have written this book with no thought of financial gain, but simply in the hope that a word of warning may perhaps be the means of helping the thoughtless and preventing the reckless, who, while shunning a small-pox ward, knock about indiscriminately with women, and em bark, unarmed, on adventures in Life's jungle, which alas! Is inhabited by every form of human tiger.

Excerpt from Difficulties: An Attempt to Help
Since writing a little book which I called If I Were Tour Father, I have been repeatedly urged to compile a more elaborate version of it. I have long hesitated - not that I did not feel that common-sense advice to a young man on ordinary and dangerous everyday subjects was a want that had never been supplied, but because I felt that there were many who could do it much better. My very sketchy attempt is now three years old, and as no one has bothered to take the hint from the upstream fly I cast upon the water, I have taken my pen in hand, as the servant girl explains to her lover - though with what else she could take it, I have never been able to discover - in an endeavour to be of some use to young men going into the world, who are as a rule left to find out for themselves things which have brought them to a cure, when a word might have helped them to prevention.
