Tupper, Martin Farquhar
Proverbial Philosophy: A Book of Thoughts and Arguments. [First and Second Series, Along with A Thousand Lines]
John Wiley, Wiley & Putnam
New York, 1849
12mo - 6¾ - 7¾ Inches Tall
Cloth Hardcover
Good +
Three of the author's works bound together: 159 pgs (First Series, Wiley 1849), 154 pgs (Second Series, Wiley 1849), 48 pgs (A Thousand Lines, Wiley & Putnam 1847). Good+ condition brown cloth hardcover, inlaid textured decoration to boards and spine, gilt lettering to spine. Cloth is bumped and rubbed at edges and corners, some rubbing and fraying at spine ends. Gift inscription from son to father on front endpaper, light to moderate foxing to front and rear blanks, light foxing and general age toning to paper scattered throughout text. Binding sound. A collection of commonplace observations and thoughts presented in blank verse form. The subject matter is suffused with moralistic, ethical and religious feeling, hence his words have been frequently used as inspirational quotes and proverbs. Tupper (1810-1889) was thought to be a congenial, kind-hearted man of Hugenot lineage who, although called to the bar, pursued a vocation as author of such works as Proverbial Philosophy, War Ballads, Rifle Ballads, My Life as an Author, Geraldine and Other Poems. He was also considered a mechanical inventor of sorts and a supporter of volunteer, humane and reform movements. A sampling of subject matter in this book reflects these inclinations: Of Humility, Of Compensation, Of Experience. Of Hatred and Anger, Of Good in Things Evil, Of Cruelty to Animals, Of Marriage, Of Tolerance, Of Sorrow, Of Faith, Of Honesty, Of Solitude and many more. #1844.
