Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays in Brief for War-Time Thomas Fuller, one of the best and wisest and wittiest of Englishmen, a peace-loving man of a most happy temperament, spent the last twenty years of his life amid the trials and terrors of civil war, and the defeat and oppression of the cause which he believed to be the righteous one. He was a man with a pen ever in his hand, and a full flow of fancy in his brain: and when our civil war began in 1642, his pen was quickly at work noting down his thoughts in the brief and telling form which his curious fancy gave them. In 1645 published 'Good Thoughts in Bad Times' at Exeter: in 1647 ms 'Good Thoughts in Worse Times': and in 1660 his 'Mixed Contemplations in Better Times, ' dedicated to Lady Monck, in which dedication he says that she was known to have had' a finger, yea a hand, yea an arm happily instrumental' in the great work of her renowned husband effected early that year.
