Elbert Hubbard describes the homes of authors, poets, social reformers and other prestigious people, reflecting on how their surroundings may have influenced them. These short essays are part biography and part pontification of Hubbard's opinion of the subject and their work.
In this volume he reflects on the lives of great businessmen active chiefly in England and the US. Included are Robert Owen, James Oliver, Stephen Girard, Mayer A. Rothschild, Philip D. Armour, John J. Astor, Peter Cooper, Andrew Carnegie, George Peabody, A. T. Stewart, H. H. Rogers, and James J. Hill.
This is Volume 11 in a series of 14 books.

Public
domain books
A
public-domain book is a book with no copyright, a book that was
created without a license, or a book where its copyrights expired or
have been forfeited.
In most
countries the of copyright expires on the first day of January, 70
years after the death of the latest living author. The longest
copyright term is in Mexico, which has life plus 100 years for all
deaths since July 1928.
A notable
exception is the United States, where every book and tale published
before 1926 is in the public domain; American copyrights last for 95
years for books originally published between 1925 and 1978 if the
copyright was properly registered and maintained.
