Aphorisms: An Address Delivered Before The Edinburgh Philosophical Institution, November 11, 1887 is a book written by John Morley. The book is a collection of aphorisms, or short statements that convey a general truth or observation. Morley delivers the address before the Edinburgh Philosophical Institution in 1887, discussing the use and importance of aphorisms in literature, philosophy, and everyday life. He explores the history of aphorisms, from ancient Greek philosophers to modern writers, and argues that they are a valuable tool for conveying complex ideas in a concise and memorable way. The book is a fascinating exploration of the power of language and the art of communication, and will appeal to anyone interested in philosophy, literature, or the history of ideas.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
