Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Wise Words and Quaint Counsels of Thomas Fuller: Selected and Arranged, With a Short Sketch of the Author's Life
The fact of Fuller's father having been a Fellow of Trinity is a sufficient proof that he was a man of more than ordinary ability. From his mother, too, he must have inherited a great deal of his intellectual power, and he very early attracted the special notice of Mt, who became Lady Margaret Professor of Divinity in Cambridge the year after Fuller was born, and in 1614 was appointed Master of Queens' College, then, as now, a position of more honour than emolument.
