Thoughts For The Thoughtful (1843) - Hardcover

This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the original. Due to its age, it may contain imperfections such as marks, notations, marginalia and flawed pages. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions that are true to the original work.

As an old man 1may be allowed a little quaintness in giving a title to a book, and a considerate reader will not quarrel with me for choosing that of Thoughts for the Thoughtful, inasmuch as it is the best that has occurred to my mind. Some of the following pieces have already appeared in the Tract Magazine; and, indeed, the whole volume itself is of a very unpretending character, claiming no attention either for the novelty of its design, the brilliancy of its wit, the extent of its information, or the depth and solidity of its wisdom. But as we expect not the common architect to erect a pyramid, so my humble design may escape the censure of all who prefer usefulness to grandeur.
