Add to basketHardcover. Condition: Near Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. The Autobiography of Andrew Carnegie INSCRIBED by his wife (1920 Hardcover without Dust Jacket) As his wife remarked in the preface, after Carnegie retired from active business, he delighted in recording incidents from his active years. The couple spent their summer vacati…on time in Scotland organizing and expanding recollections. At least until August 1914 and the outbreak of WWI.

Add to basketHardcover. Condition: Good. First Edition. x, 519 p. 22 cm. Two page chart: "Graphic Presentation of the Comparative Areas of the States and Territories of the United States and the Countries of Europe." Brugundy cloth with gold and black print. Corners bumped, spine ends torn. Darkening and soiling to cloth. Some soiling to tex…t block edge and a few interior pages. Inscribed by author on a front endpaper, possibly to a Mr. Forrester of The Peoples League. First edition of one of Carnegie's most famous books, extolling the virtues of republicanism and maligning the monarchical system of his native Britain. The author presents an exhaustive description of America's achievements, educational system, agriculture, factories, communications, art, literature, international relations, and, not surprisingly for a wealthy steel magnate, the "National Balance Sheet." Britain, on the other hand, suffers from wastefulness and inequality. Comparative chart is useful for those who wish to know how much larger Texas is than the Austrian Empire or that the Indian Territory is larger than England and Wales put together. Carnegie makes a few statements that no longer appear true, assuming they were correct to begin with: "The Monarchy thinks show grand; the Republic votes it vulgar" (469). One wonders what the author would think if he were alive today; are the roles reversed? Triumphant or tacky? You decide.

At her direction, the Carnegie family immigrated to the United States in 1848, where they settled in Allegheny, Pennsylvania. Margaret worked as a weaver to support the family during their early years in America. Carnegie later credited much of his success to her guidance and example of dedicated work.

The book recounts his carriage journey through the British countryside, and offers reflections on British culture and society from the perspective of an American industrialist. The title refers to the "four-in-hand" driving style, where a team of four horses is controlled by a single driver.
