Présentation de l'éditeur

After the formidable examples of bolomoti Kocflefoif caiilt, ftftne, lir Sorgatt !UD otett8, and other retailers of wise and pithy sayings an apology is probably necessary for the appearance of these A phorisms. I have none to offer, but the hope that they may afford some little amusement to the reader, and, perhaps induce other writers to do something better in the same walk. They were all written in the evenings of September, 1832, for the purpose of whiling I tway a few idle hours, and are now printed at the ses- tion of the Publisher. Whether I have done rlgt in consenting to the publication of such trifles, is another afiair. If any of the ideas are taken from others, (as is very probably the case,) I can only say, that I am perfectly unconscious of the appropriation, and that I have, in every case, endeavoured to be strictly original. It only remains to mention, that twelve dozen of the Aphorisms have already appeared in Fraser s Magazine: the rest are now published for the first time fl fto Hmt Vfitjagoreatt.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
