Book Description
"The Marryers" by Irving Bacheller is a novel that reveals law and courtship issues. Addison Irving Bacheller (1859 – 1950) was an American journalist and writer. He founded the first modern newspaper syndicate in the United States. Excerpt: "I HAVE just returned from Italy—the land of love and song. To any who may be looking forward to a career in love or song I recommend Italy. Its art, scenery, and wine have been a great help to the song business, while its pictures, statues, and soft air are well calculated to keep the sexes from drifting apart and becoming hopelessly estranged. The sexes will have their differences, of course, as they are having them in England. I sometimes fear that they may decide to have nothing more to do with each other, in which case Italy, with its alert and well-trained corps of love-makers, might save the situation."

Book Description
'Keeping Up with William' is a first-person novel written by Irving Bacheller. We are introduced to the narrator at the beginning of the book, who went up to Connecticut to see the Honorable Socrates Potter. Later on he met with a man named William, who as he filled and lighted his pipe, settled down in an easy chair and began again, with his gun resting across his knees, shared the following opinion, amongst many others, that sets the tone for the rest of the novel: "The superiors try to square themselves by giving to the poor. It doesn't work. Often we do more harm than good by giving to the poor. Kindness, sympathy, loving counsel and a brotherly hand can accomplish much. But the charily of cold cash is a questionable thing. The girl who knits a pair of socks accomplishes a larger net result to the good than the one that gives ten pairs to charity. The girl who did the knitting really produced something. She had made the world better off by one pair of socks. There is no doubt about that. The girl who has bought and given away ten pairs has produced nothing. She has made the world in general no better off. She is a slacker. She is trying to make her money to do her work for her."
