PUBLISHERS' PREFACE.
Mr. Tupper has achieved a popularity for his works, which has rarely been enjoyed by any one at so early aperiod of life; he being now only between thirty-five and forty years of age. Where all are so intrinsicallyvaluable, it is difficult to determine which particular work has contributed most to his rapid and enviableadvancement; 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 socogently treated therein, as to leave an indelible impression upon the mind, which could not, perhaps, havebeen so thoroughly made in any other manner; and the "thoughts and arguments" may be perused andrëperused 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 indifferentcharacter, as regards mechanical execution--and the increasing demand still manifested for them, has inducedthe present publishers to collect the entire works of Mr. Tupper, and to stereotype them in a style worthy of THE COMPLETE PROSE WORKS1
their excellence. Each work has been thoroughly revised, and the errors which disfigure some other editionshave been carefully corrected--an advantage readily appreciable by those who discriminate in their selectionsfor the library or the centre-table.The Project Gutenberg eBook of The Complete Prose Works of Martin Farquhar Tupper, Esq., M.A..PUBLISHERS' PREFACE.2
