Maxims, Characters, and Reflections: Critical, Satyrical, and Moral is a book written by Fulke Greville and published in 1757. The book is a collection of Greville's thoughts and observations on various aspects of life, including politics, society, and morality. The book is divided into three sections: Maxims, Characters, and Reflections. The Maxims section contains short, pithy statements that offer advice and insight on a variety of topics. The Characters section consists of brief sketches of various individuals, both real and fictional, that Greville uses to illustrate his points. The Reflections section contains longer essays that delve deeper into specific topics, such as the nature of human ambition or the role of government in society.Throughout the book, Greville employs a critical and satirical tone, often using humor and irony to make his points. He is particularly critical of the political and social institutions of his time, and he frequently uses his characters and reflections to satirize the hypocrisy and corruption he sees around him.Despite its critical tone, Maxims, Characters, and Reflections also contains a strong moral message. Greville emphasizes the importance of personal integrity, honesty, and virtue, and he encourages readers to strive for these qualities in their own lives.Overall, Maxims, Characters, and Reflections is a thought-provoking and entertaining work that offers a unique perspective on life in 18th-century England.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
