Brace, First and Third President , Section of Original Petition for Aetna Charter , Original Entry in First Record Book , Seal of Aetna Insurance Company , First Aetna Advertisement , Henry L. Ellsworth, Second President , Page from Correspondence Book No. I , Aetna Policy No. I , Aetna Office Building, 1837 to 1867 , etc. William George Jordan (1864 - 1928) was an American lecturer, editor, and essayist. He is most famous for his self-help books, especially those on the subject of mental training and cognitive improvement. Other notable works by this author include: Mental Training (1894), The Kingship of Self-Control (1898), and The Majesty of Calmness (1900). Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in a modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
