But it is pleasant to me to\r\nconnect this translation of a college text-bookused by us\r\nall, long ago, within the walls of old Harvardwith the\r\nmemory of youthful pursuits that have never lost their charm\r\nfor the mind, and early associations that retain, with all\r\ntheir original freshness and geniality, their hold upon the\r\nheart.\nThe Fable has always been a popular mode of conveying\r\ncertain kinds of instruction. The brief and simple\r\nillustrations it affords give additional weight and point to\r\nmoral apothegms or sententious criticisms. Like the feather\r\non the shaft, they serve to increase the force and direct\r\nthe aim more certainly to the mark. A pertinent fact or an\r\napt fiction breathes, even into a dry and curt axiom, a\r\nliving and practical interest which opens to it hearts and\r\nheads that would otherwise pass it by with indifference, or\r\nrevolt from it with impatience. Many of these unpretending\r\nallegories have been familiar to us all, in childhood, in a\r\ngreat variety of dresses, and have long formed a standard\r\npart of our literature congenial alike to nursery days and\r\nto mature age.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 39640 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Iriarte, Tomás de \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: May 7, 2012 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eContributors\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTranslator\u003c\/b\u003e: Devereux, George H.
