Man's Supreme Inheritance (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Man's Supreme Inheritance
Among my intimates I once numbered a boatman, known as Old Sol, or, to his familiars, Sol, simply, without the courtesy title, for he was not notably old. I could not say whether his name was an abbreviated form of Solomon, nor if it were, whether the longer name was baptismal or conferred in later years as a tribute to his undoubted wisdom. I have thought it possible that the name was not an abbreviation at all, but was descriptive of my friend's habit of optimism in regard to the weather. For to the cockney oarsman who doubtfully contemplated the meteorological conditions on the upper Thames Sol was unwavering in his encouragement.
