Lacon, Or Many Things in Few Words: Addressed to Those Who Think (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Lacon, or Many Things in Few Words: Addressed to Those Who Think

Bhorses may ride over her, and mules and asses may trample upon her, but with an exhaustless and a patient perversity, she continues her narcotic opera tions even to the end. In fact, the Press was never so powerful in quantity, and so weak in quality, as at the present day; if applied to it, the simile of Virgil must be reversed, Non trunco sedfrondibus qfl'icit Umbrum. It is in Literature as in Finance - much Paper and much Poverty may cc-exist.
