''Points of Misery or Fables for Mankind'' is a collection of prose and verse written by Charles Molloy Westmacott and originally published in 1823. The book contains a series of fables that explore various aspects of human nature and behavior, often with a moral lesson or warning. The stories are predominantly original works by Westmacott, but also include some adaptations of existing fables and tales. The book is divided into two parts, with the first section containing the prose fables and the second section containing the verse fables. The themes of the fables range from greed, pride, and vanity to love, friendship, and loyalty. The language and style of the book are characteristic of the Romantic period, with a focus on vivid imagery and emotional expression. Overall, ''Points of Misery or Fables for Mankind'' offers a thought-provoking and entertaining exploration of human nature through the lens of fable and storytelling.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
