Excerpt from Economic Essays Professor Dunbar did not enter on his academic career, how ever, until he had passed the age of forty. The best years of his early manhood were given to work of a very different sort. For ten years he was editor of a daily newspaper; a phase of his life little known to those who afterwards felt his influence as teacher and author, but one in which his success was no less marked. After graduating from Harvard College, in 1851, he engaged for a short time in business; health failing, spent a year at farm ing; then entered on the study of the law, and was admitted to the bar in 1858. Meanwhile, contributions from his pen had appeared in the Boston Daily Advertiser. In 1859 he became part owner and associate editor of that newspaper, and soon was sole responsible editor. From 1859 to 1869 all his energies were given to its editorial and business management. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
