Excerpt from The Wit and Wisdom of Thomas Fuller: With a Brief Biography Though Thomas Fuller was by no means a recluse student, and though he lived in one of the most eventful periods of our history, yet the recorded facts of his history are neither numerous nor important, and for the greater part of them the modern reader is indebted to Fuller's own works.
