THIS BOOK
Is Affectionately Inscribed to

unless he form himself a little more closely
upon the model of
The Author.
THE PUDD'NHEAD MAXIMS.

these wisdoms are for the luring of youth toward
high moral altitudes. the author did not
gather them from practice, but from

but to show others how
to be good is nobler
and no trouble.
