THIS little book is the outgrowth of a series of articles which appeared in The Christian Work of New York. They attracted so much favorable comment that it seemed wise to expand them and put them into permanent form. They cover, in part, a phase of Mr. Carnegie's activities that is not so widely known as are his beneficences, and were revealed only to his friends. Mr. Carnegie's "Autobiography" has appeared just as this book goes to press. It is a rather striking fact that the "Recollections" dwell hardly at all upon the incidents recorded in the Autobiography, but supplement it in a way that I am sure will make all, interested in Mr. Carnegie's career and character, grateful.
