BY - CHARLES G. LELAND
In Memorium Charles Godfrey Leland AMERICAN AUTHOR WHO DIED MARCH 20, 1903 AT FLORENCE, ITALY AGED 79 "The good that men do lives after them."
Delving into the hidden currents that shape human determination, this work invites listeners to reconsider the ordinary notion of willpower. The author presents the will as a subtle, almost mystical force that can be cultivated through focused attention, suggestion, and disciplined habit. Drawing on philosophy, early psychology, and practical observations, the early chapters map out how ordinary thoughts can be redirected toward purposeful action without the harshness of an “iron‑will.”
Written in a clear, conversational style, the treatise balances theory with concrete exercises designed to strengthen mental resolve. Listeners will discover techniques for quieting restless thoughts, channeling intention, and fostering a steady inner drive. By the end of the first act, the foundation is laid for a deeper exploration of how the mystic will can influence everyday life, offering a fresh perspective on personal growth that feels both timeless and surprisingly accessible.

An American man of letters with a gift for languages and folklore, he moved easily from comic verse to deep dives into legends, dialects, and popular traditions. Best known in his own day for the wildly popular "Hans Breitmann" ballads, he also left a lasting mark on the study of folk belief in both America and Europe.
