"The wise sayings which follow come from many different numbers of Ben Franklin's Poor Almanack. Of course not all the sayings here are original with old Ben, for he included in Poor Richard, along with his own, proverbs copied or adapted from other collections - but he usually gave to them a flavor of his own. The woodcuts are adapted from the crude cuts of Joseph Crawhall." - from the Preliminary Page. Poor Richard Says: "Early to Bed, and early to rise, makes a Man healthy, wealthy and wise." - from the jacket front Poor Richard Says: "Great Talkers should be cropp'd, for they have no need of Ears." - from the rear outer jacket.
