Mammon In Verseland: Or The Power Of Money is a book written by George Washington Nims in 1908. This book is a satirical allegory that explores the power of money and its impact on society. The story takes place in a fictional world called Verseland, where money is the ruling force and the most important thing in life. The main character, Mr. Gold, is a wealthy businessman who becomes the leader of Verseland after he buys the throne. The book follows Mr. Gold's rise to power and the corrupting influence of money on him and the people of Verseland. The author uses humor and irony to critique the greed and materialism of society, and to highlight the dangers of valuing money over morals and human values. The book is a thought-provoking commentary on the role of money in modern society and its impact on human behavior.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
