In "Maxims of Methuselah," Frank Gelett Burgess presents a collection of witty and insightful aphorisms attributed to the biblical figure Methuselah. Each maxim is a thought-provoking reflection on life, love, and human nature, delivered with Burgess' trademark blend of humor and wisdom.

This book is a quick read, but its messages linger long after turning the final page. Burgess has a knack for distilling complex ideas into simple yet profound statements that resonate with readers. Whether you're looking for a dose of inspiration or simply a good laugh, "Maxims of Methuselah" is sure to satisfy.

I highly recommend this book to anyone seeking a fresh perspective on the trials and tribulations of the human experience. Burgess' clever wordplay and timeless wisdom make "Maxims of Methuselah" a delightful addition to any bookshelf.

Book Description:
Being the Advice given by the Patriarch in his Nine Hundred Sixty and Ninth Year to his Great Grandson at Shem's Coming of Age, in Regard to Women.

The following is, so far as I know, the only authentic rendering into the English language of the three hundred and thirty parables attributed to Methuselah. . . . Of its origin, the book, although freely rendered into the idiom of the hour, still bears intrinsic evidence of having been compiled by one who had had extraordinary experience with women. The amorous expert will not find it hard to believe that 969 years would be none too short a time for any one man to have accumulated such a profound lore. Indeed, women tell us that the present span of life is entirely too brief for any ordinary man to obtain the slightest comprehension of the extreme complexity of feminine psychology.
