The title page notes," arranged for the fifty-two weeks of the year, " A well-spring of Inspiration, Hope, Encouragement, Courage, Opportunity, Contentment, Joy and Happiness." This sales/order book contains a series of excerpts from the original, which is organized into the months of year and into the weeks of each month.

At the rear of the sales sample is a full page ad for the full-size volume at prices ranging from $1.50 to $2.25, and 9 pages of blank, ruled paper for listing orders. Boards' corners and edges show moderate wear and lettering has faded in places though still legible. Hinges just starting to crack, but binding still tight and firm. Text edges slightly soiled. Text itself is clean, complete and unmarked. An interesting collectable from the beginning of the last century.
