From the Preface. ...The Shopkeeper's Guide will be found to commend principles which if properly appreciated and practiced, cannot fail to place the interests of the large or small shopkeeper upon a sound foundation. The second and third classes of my querists will be materially aided by the chapters which treat of the "Causes of Failures of Shopkeepers; Qualifications for a Shopkeeper; Hints towards the choice of a Business; Book-keeping; and especially by the " Receipts of Articles," which may be procured wholesale at low prices, compounded according to the directions given, and then sold retail at a very large profit. The List of Agencies will also prove of material value to Shopkeepers of every class. It is my intention to enlarge both these latter departments in future editions; and to keep up a constant and careful revision of the work. In conclusion: I shall be happy to receive suggestions from those who may be able to improve any of the departments of the work, or to add new and useful features to it. I shall also be glad if Shopkeepers will communicate with me upon any deficiencies or omissions they may find; my determination being to make the work one of the highest value to the numerous classes to whose interests it is addressed.
Excerpt from The Shopkeeper's Guide: Designed to Give Stability to the Interests of the Shopkeeper, by Instructing Him How to Place His Business Upon a Secure Foundation, and Also to Guide Persons Who, From Ill Health, or From Reverse of Fortune, May Seek to Obtain a Livelihood by Shopkeepin Finding it impossible to answer all applications upon these matters, either by correspondence or in the pages of The Family Friend, and feeling the subject to be one of considerable importance, I resolved to publish a pamphlet which should, as far as possible, meet the wants of my numerous correspondents. I had searched everywhere for a work of this kind, but could find nothing answering the purpose. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

A quarter-century after its first publication, A Shopkeeper's Millennium remains a landmark work--brilliant both as a new interpretation of the intimate connections among politics, economy, and religion during the Second Great Awakening, and as a surprising portrait of a rapidly growing frontier city. The religious revival that transformed America in the 1820s, making it the most militantly Protestant nation on earth and spawning reform movements dedicated to temperance and to the abolition of slavery, had an especially powerful effect in Rochester, New York. Paul E. Johnson explores the reasons for the revival's spectacular success there, suggesting important links between its moral accounting and the city's new industrial world. In a new preface, he reassesses his evidence and his conclusions in this major work.
