The most painful truth is that great writers often mirror the ways of the ignorant masses, or rather, the lowest plebeians, who do not hesitate to repeat the same word as many times as necessary to convey the same idea. The common people lack synonyms; words with similar meanings maintain a clear distinction in everyday speech. This popular defect brings to mind another significant error: the belief that written language should mirror spoken language, implying that people write and speak merely to express their thoughts. In other words, exchanging symbols for objects is akin to exchanging the objects themselves. This misconception suggests that the common person possesses clearer ideas within their limited scope than many esteemed literati, which is a manifest absurdity. The publisher, Forgotten Books, specializes in reproducing significant historical works, employing advanced technology to digitally reconstruct texts while preserving their original format. Though some imperfections from the original may persist, most are repaired to maintain the integrity of these important works.
