Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Retired Lieutenant, Vol. 1 of 2: And the Battle of Loncarty Poems
The diffusers themselves have, it is to be hoped, sufficient sense to know that knowledge does not always beget wisdom; they, doubtless, know that sense, without much knowledge, will enable a man to know knaves and impostors from honest men; while know ledge, without sense, may render a man who, had he remained ignorant, might have remained honest, both a knave and an impostor.
