'The object of this book is to circulate a limited number among small investors, that they may share in the prosperity of the country and also apply their knowledge as learned herein, to guard against the many factions that are constantly on the alert to fleece them of small and large amounts of money (especially the shysters)'. (from the preface).

An unusual title as it is one of the few stock market titles written by a woman that we are aware of during this period. The author attempts to explain common pitfalls, the ways the big players and shysters draw in the unsuspecting public, and recommends approaches (none particularly technical) for practically approaching the marketplace. An interesting window into one woman's views at the time - and one not unlike the sort of advice Consumer Reports might offer today.
