Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Complete Prose Works of Martin Farquhar Tupper, Esq.: Comprising the Crock of Gold, the Twins, an Author´s Mind, Heart, Probabilities, Etc Mr. Tupper has achieved a popularity for his works, which has rarely been enjoyed by any one at so early a period of life: he being now only between thirty-five and forty years of age. Where all are so intrinsically valuable, it is difficult to determine which particular work has contributed most to his rapid and enviable advancement; yet, were an award indispensable, we should feel constrained to make it in favour of his ´Proverbial Philosophy.´ It is one of those unique productions which commends itself to all classes of readers, and from the perusal of which all cannot but derive substantial means of improvement. Familiar truths are so cogently treated therein, as to leave an indellible impression upon the mind, which could not, perhaps, have been so thoroughly made in any other manner; and the "thoughts and arguments" maybe perused and reperused with an advantage but few other writings are capable of yielding. The rapid and extensive sale of several editions, issued in other places - some of them of rather an indifferent character, as regards mechanical execution - and the increasing demand still manifested for them, has induced the present publishers to collect the entire works of Mr. Tupper, and to stereotype them in a style worthy of their excellence. Each work has been thoroughly revised, and the errors which disfigure some other editions have been carefully corrected - an advantage readily appreciable by those who discriminate in their selections for the library or the centre-table.
