Excerpt
?Richard Dare?s Venture,? although a complete story in itself, forms the initial volume of the ?Bound to Succeed? Series, a line of books written primarily for boys, but which it would seem not only girls but also persons of mature age have taken up with more or less interest. The story relates the adventures of a country youth who comes to New York to seek his fortune, just as many country lads have done in the past and many are likely to do in the future. Richard feels that there is nothing for him to do in the sleepy village in which he resides, and that he must ?strike out for himself,? and he does so, with no cash capital to speak of, but with plenty of true American backbone, and with the firm conviction that if he does his duty as he finds it, and watches his chances, he will be sure to make a place for himself.
