Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Politicians, and Other Poems "Christian reader, I beseech thee remember this example while thou art employed in the perusal of the following sheets, and seek not to appropriate to thyself that which belongs equally to five hundred different people. If thou shouldst meet a character that reflects thee in some ungracious particular, keep thine own counsel; consider that one feature makes not a face, and that though thou art perhaps distinguished by a bottle-nose, twenty of thy neighbors may be in the same predicament." - Smollett. "The quacks of government who sate At the unregarded helm of State, And therefore met in consultation, To cant and quack upon the nation, Not for the sickly patient´s sake, Nor what to give, but what to take, Prolong the snuff of life in pain, And from the grave, recover - gain." Butler´s Hudieras. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
