Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Fables for the Young Folks Many a profitable lesson in morals is best taught indirectly. A foolish act or speech will appear in its real light when attributes to one of the inferior animals, and a child may receive the instruction when he might be unmoved by direct admonition. Nor need it be feared that the true character of the fable will be mistaken; that what is the mere vehicle of truth will be literally received as the truth itself. "I shall not ask J. J. Rousseau If birds confabulate, or no: ´Tis clear that they were always able To hold discourse, at least in fable; And e´en the child, that knows no better Than to interpret by the letter A story of a cock or bull, Must have a most uncommon skull." Cowper. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at www.forgottenbooks.com This book is a reproduction of an important historical work.
