1884. With some remarks upon true and false success, and the art of making the best use of life. The author holds that success in life is doing one's duty as well as it can be done in whatever may be one's position; not for the sake of the reward that may accompany it, and yet not despising or refusing that reward when it comes. In this kind of success there is a pure and permanent pleasure, wholly unknown to those for whom success is synonymous with Mammon.

Autorenporträt
W. H. Davenport Adams, the writer of "Curiosities of Superstition and Sketches of Some Unrevealed Religions," became a 19th-century English author and journalist acknowledged for his works on various subjects, which includes records, literature, and folklore. Born in 1828, Adams displayed an eager interest in exploring the extraordinary and lesser-recognised aspects of human lifestyle and belief structures. "Curiosities of Superstition" is certainly one of Adams's tremendous works, showcasing his fascination with the diverse tapestry of superstitions and religious practices round the world. In this masterpiece, Adams takes readers on a charming journey, unveiling the complex threads of perception structures that have fashioned human societies for the duration of records. The book in all likelihood delves into the atypical rituals, traditions, and myths which have performed a role in shaping the non-secular and cultural landscapes of different civilizations. Adams's writing style is possibly to combine scholarly studies with an inherent ability for storytelling, making complicated topics available to a broader target market. By exploring unrevealed religions and delving into superstitions, Adams can also have aimed to shed mild at the various approaches in which people have sought to understand and navigate the mysteries of life.
