This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1812 edition. Excerpt: ...His sentiment declares. Their case admitting no delay, His sage opinion, in three words to tell, VVas--" They must cunningl y devise a way " Round the Cat's neck to fix a bell. " Suppose him then on war to think, " And on their confines now encroaching, " Soon as the bell announced the foe approaching, " They to their holes, in safety each might slink." With this resource th' assembly closed, Since for a better all were fairly posed, But on one point their wits are forced to dwell; The means of hanging that same bell. " Let those that like the problem, chew it, " I were a fool, says one, to do it." " Tho' all my courage will allow, " Another cries, I don't know how." " A third wants strength, and he don't chuse it," In short, they, one and all, refuse it. Thus among men, in seasons of alarm, You'll see the council-board with sages swarm; But when their plans are ripe for execution, Not one can summon resolution. l. ExAMrNeR.--Must we understand this fable as a direct reflection on the counsellors of kings and States? REsroNnENr.--Not directly, I suppose; for it were unreasonable, in a thousand cases, to expect the members of a council, to be the fittest persons to execute their own decrees. 2. Ex.--On what do you ground this opinion? Res.--On the common principle, that theory and practice are widely different provinces; and that counsellors of state may wisely plan that, which others will more ably and properly execute. 3. Ex.--At what then is the fable levelled? Res.--Much more fitly at any society or company, where all the members are nearly on an equal foot and assailed by some common enemy, or adverse circumstance, ...
