have been turned into songs and great stories; his old calamities are
our present consolation. This volume contains reproduction in colour of

SOME FOULIS BOOKLETS
MAXIMS OF LIFE SERIES
A set of miniature volumes, exquisitely produced, designed to hold the
essence of the wisdom of some of the world's keenest intelligences. The
_Napoleon_ volume, for instance, thus contains the essential creed of
the man who towered above his time like a Colossus. That of _Madame de
Sévigné_, again, holds the attar of an intellect that dazzled the most
brilliant court of France. In the _La Rochefoucauld_ is the essence of
the worldly wisdom of one of the cleverest judges of men and things. And
the _George Sand_ preserves the private philosophy which a passionate
woman slowly distilled as she made her stormy pilgrimage through life.
Each of these volumes, which contain illustrations in line and colour,
is a slender casket of jewels. In decorative wrapper, 6d. net. Bound in
Velvet Persian Yapp, 1/- net; also in Japon Vellum, 1/- net. 120 pp.

Illustration captions have been moved slightly to coincide with the

This book includes a lot of dialect, which often looks misspelled but
was intentionally written that way. Therefore, some irregularities that
might be errors have not been corrected in order to preserve author
intent. Name variants (mostly occurring in the index) also have not been
corrected. However, obvious errors have been corrected, and punctuation
has been standardized.
